Default Wave Breakers

Hi,

Just posted the below on the Seawind forum and wondered what you guys thought...

Just wondering, after reading all about SWs submarining, nose-diving etc in heavy airs, whether anyone has tried fitting small wave-breakers near the bow...? Just small pieces of styrene or CF in a chevron shape pointing forward.

We have retro fitted them to our full size ships (I work for a shipping company) and they're brilliant! A little big bigger though - about 200 tonnes of steel work!

I think they'd just help in clearing any green water shipped over the bow (may also help in keeping the hatch drier?). What do you reckon...?

Thanks,

Matt
