thanks
Without ever having cruised on a planing yacht I have learned quite a bit about why the 80's and 90's itallian/euro styled flybridge with aftdeck yachts are not active fin stabilized. Thanks very much for all your help and patience. It is much appreciated.
If I may ask... How would you think a 1974 Hatteras 53 MY compares with the euro planing yachts in terms of sea-keeping and ride?
