| Stabilizers on planing yachts?
I have been perplexed that I rarely see stabilizers on planing hulls, most notably the italian/eurostyled yachts. I have cruised in the med on a 53 hatteras which had stabilizers and certainly needed them. I would love to hear the opinions of yacht owners, captains and crew that have had experience with the italian/eurostyled yachts in the 65-80ft range in snotty conditions..Do these planing hulls really not need stabilizers? Thanks for any comments.
