Another thing that might matter is that you might actually want the 
paravanes to work best at slower speeds, regardless of efficiency at 
higher speeds. When the weather gets really bad, we slow down. We also 
want the stabilizers to work their best at that slower speed. Just 
something that you might want to figure in. Our paravanes are backups to 
our active fins. We don't deploy them unless we expect bad weather. We 
like to be ready for Murphy ahead of time rather than trying to deploy 
the paravanes in rough conditions. So our situation may not apply.
