T&T: Anti Rolling Chalks

[David Davis]

We have a 45' Defever pilot house that we enjoy very much. The one down
side is the rolling of the displacement hull when we are off shore in
the Pacific North West. I recently visited with a commercial fisherman
friend who operates a 60' steel trawler. He installed "anti rolling
chalks" of approximately 20' in length that stick out and 18" to 24"
inches from the hull. He has had good luck with these especially when
traveling off shore from Oregon to Alaska.



Dose anyone on the list have experience or knowledge of this type of
stabilization?



I would appreciate the input.
