You need to talk to Richard on Dauntless. He crossed the Atlantic both ways in a realitively small Trawler with paravanes.

Lepke thank you for confirming that they are sometimes called Flopper Stoppers.
When I was a kid I remember adults calling them that but when I mentioned it on TF I was corrected that the term only applied to devices used at anchor.
