For your choice
I thinking your idea of gyro it is a good choice because :
-you can't put a mast on your boat : no sails , no paravanes
- the Naïads always make a bigger drag and more consumption
- the gyro could work at anchor
- the gyro can't be hit by something , drag a net or rope
We have a hull with hard chine we have a great stability curve...and we roll with a very short period
Last year we added two "bilges" keels around 14' long and 10" wide, a 8m mast with
18 sqm main sail full battens ...it dampen , a litle the roll .(and we have already two sideboards !!)
On Setsail they show some films taken in bad weather and the ride looks good with over sized Naïad ....but unfortunately also over sized for my bank account
But gyro look good, if you can get 'background'.
On one boat we had Naïads it work well, but with all problems listed above : drag,consomption, possible 'trap' for roppe ,,net even bottom of a river side ...
If you choose Gyro please let know to us what happen , you are like a 'cobaye'
