FAQ #2 Stabilisers?

You are building a stabilizer? What is that? Why is it so small?

I included photos of Greg in his solo model of Rick's design. 

This one has Greg pedaling with Carter, paddling a surf ski, who holds the solo record for the MR340. 

The stabilizers (stabilisers in the designer's English dialect) extend to each side of the main hull and act as water training wheels. They are not constantly in the water, and are designed to skim the surface. The stabilizers on Greg's boat are about 2 meters long, ours are 3 meters long in order to offer the support we need. 

The term for the hull design is a "Stabilised Monohull" more on that to come.
