I seem to recall that Darren Newton experimented with end plates fitted to
the ends of the rudders on one of his 30 foot cats to control pitching. I
dont believe it was successful due to the loads they imposed at speed and he
appears to have abandoned the idea. May have details on his site at
www.multimarine.co.uk.
