Posted By: Tedd #392 Date: 11/30/06 7:59a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: bucket drogue (Jay Levy - Indianapolis, IN 5.2 #35) Okay, enough of this bucket and drogue hoohaa already... What we really need are internal ballast tanks and a pump to move water from side to side as needed to self-right the boat. And I'm thinking a 360 degree bow thruster to move and hold the bow into the wind. With an electric pump to move the water ballast, and an electric bow thruster, the only other thing we'd need would be a set of batteries to power it all. Of course it might be nice to have something to munch on while the boat is self-righting, so maybe a self-deploying floating snack tray too. I'm almost sure this is how Larry Ellison would go about it. tedd
