A lot depends on hull form.
Go on net and look at several"round Bilge" ships in drydock.
Most go down in centre rising to the ends. Some do up or down at bow. some go up or down at stern end.
They ALL different.
If you have hard chine hull. you don't need them.
round bilge. You need ALL you can get.
We used to roll like barrrels on the old North Sea Trawlers
Mostly built in '30's and '40's
I was on them in '50's.
and Ice ships are all round so they lift up if caught in ice.
If you do a lot of rolling in decent sized boat.
Install a short mast aft of wheelhouse and use a steadying sail.
Does a MUCH better job. Or "Lee Boards" like the Dutchy's hey.
