Most of the world's commercial fish boats and a good number of pleasureboats operate in displacement speeds, and drag "fish" off the riggers with at least a one knot penalty for the stabilization.
If these Magnus effect things work as advertised, commercial fishermen might save tons of fuel, as well as cruisers and yachties of the go-slo type.
Any info?
