Thanks again for the color Eric. Have you seen the arrow and archer stabilization systems by quantum hyrdaulic? They claim it works on fast yachts. I watched the demo video on their site which show the tabs operating dynamically via a control system. I don't know how effective it is but certainly it looks interesting. Have you also noticed that recently the itallian/eurostyle manufacturers are beginning to offer stabilization systems on their planing yachts? I think San lorenzo and Ferretti are among some that are offerring stabilization options on their planing hulls. I wonder if it is currently the "hot "topic or buzzword for that yacht segment..and it would be quite the turnaround from past attitudes (like in the 1980's and 90's vintage planing yachts where you seldom see the stabilization systems).

Thanks again Eric.
