Hydroplane
The Thought du Jour is: Why not stick a hydroplane on my high-speed electric kayak? This would slightly decrease the wetted hull but it would add theoretic stability which is better than nothing. The question is where to put the wing? The math is simple enough as long as you avoid variables like waves, spray, reflected spray, wind, load-shift junk in the water, hull flexing, turning, clapotis and hail. Where to put the wing? Eh?
