Thanks Eric! That explains a lot. Would active/dynamic trim-tab stabilization system be the best way(effective) to stabilize these type of yachts? Suggesting that when conditions present themselves for high speed cruising the active trim tab system would not need to be activated, there by eliminating the drag issues. And of course during rougher conditions , the activation and increase in drag that may be caused by the active trim tab system would be perfectly acceptable if you can actually stabilize the roll in those rougher conditions?

Well I really like that style of yacht and certainly the speed aspects of those yachts but I remember the type of rolling we experienced in the Hatt 53 (realzing it is a different style hull and yacht) when the stabilizers were inoperable due to a stolen part. Generally speaking what is the roll like at anchorage in an "itallian/eurostyled yacht?" They tend to have a lower-profile (in regards to wind), usually a tad beamier(but maybe because of the protruding exhaust ducts), and deeper drafts than the old hatteras I have had experience in . Just trying to guage the differences.

Thanks again! This discussion is much appreciated.
