Troublesome Boat Operation

After thinking about this more, I wonder if you had a cat (let's pick on Mystic for the sake of this discussion) that had some sort of a front wing/canard (similar to the new Al Copeland boat "Phenomenon") that was computer controlled by some sort of a gyro-stabilization (don't think that's a real word) that could receive inputs hundreds of times per second/minute that could help maintain the attitude of a boat and help keep it flying level and when it sensed a blow over possible, make a severe correction to help prevent a blow over and prevent an accident before it happened, might turn into a great safety feature.

I think someone on OSO was talking about that. The only thing I would be concerned with would be that little gizmo causing a stuff. Not sure which would be worse, kite or stuff. Don't think I'd want to do either at 130+MPH.

I don't think that the wing would be enough to make the boat change the attitude that it was flying that drastically but hopefully enough to slow the blow over down so the drives could catch and bring the boat down a little safer. Even if it did stuff the occupants would stay inside the cockpit of the boat and hopefully just have a few missing teeth or a broken back like the guy who spun the Fountain around, atleast they didn't die.
