I would think that stabilizers would have a greater effect on a FD hull compared to a SD hull, but then a FD hull will have more roll to begin with. That is not the same as saying that they are ineffective on a SD hull.
But stabilizers don't lend themselves better to FD. Perhaps if he limits his definition of stabilizers to Paravanes that might be true, I don't know, as I've never seen Paravanes used on other hull forms. But there are many forms of stabilizers for every type boat out there. We have different types on different boats. However, all are very effective.
