Good question. I can't answer that one but maybe Boydski can since he has both on his Nordhavn.

I know that our autopilot has never been overpowered or not able to hold a course but how tight?

The motion is different with active fins vs paravanes, almost like a catamaran. With both fish in the water, we become `43 feet wide.
