Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9212046A1] The invention relates to a hydrodynamic fin member for use on water-borne craft and particularly suitable to act as a stabilising means for the craft. The body portion of the fin (F) has a smoothly rounded leading edge zone (14) converging upper and lower surfaces (16, 18) and a trailing zone (20). A ridge-like member formed by two diverging surfaces (22, 24) which merge smoothly with the zone (20) has a a wedge-shaped cross-section terminating in an end wall (28). The stabilising fin (F) is adapted for adjustment by pivoting about an axis (32). A tip fence (34) may be provided if preferred.
