In comparison to the patent:

Dad and I made improvements on streamlining the stabilizer unit and making it more efficient as well as increasing location/attachment availabilities onto different hull models of different style boats; deep keel sail boats included. Its automatic stabilizing capabilities are remarkable while cruising at displacement speeds or just above or below. Also, depending on placement position(s) it reduces roll while at rest. You can see the resemblance to Dad's Spitfire WWII wing’s cross section. Along with him I worked to complete, improve, and test this stabilizer's design; before and after pantent was issued.

How well I recall... Loved IT ALL!
