T&T: Active Fin Stabilizers

[Carl H. Martin]

Dave,
I have found the information you have shared on the stability tank very 
interesting.  Before your posts regarding Swansong I had never heard of 
them.

I have a small boat with a full displacement soft chine hull.  At 30' she is 
obviously too small for fins & while paravanes are an option they are a 
hassle & would not solve 2 big problems, rolling at anchor & rolling caused 
by wakes in channels.  I would think that if a boat meets the stability 
requirements the physics of the stability tank would not be limited by boat 
size.  What do you think?

We took a simple and effective way for us. We too never leave the dock
without our tank "turned on"...as a matter of fact it's always "on" ;-) Swan
Song was a rolly lady and now she's a well mannered comfortable one all the
time.

YMMV
