Hi AMG, I would agree but have never cruised on a planing yacht in rough conditions, hence the reason I was inquiring. But it would be **** sweet if ya could.

Now in regards to the zero speed stabilizers, that too would be nice...though the only ones I have seen are the active fin style. So unless those are retractable, based on the comments here today, they would be a material form of drag and reduce control on planing hull. Are there other zero speed systems that I may not be aware of? thanks
