Aside from the gentle sarcasm, (which I enjoyed, by the way)... perhaps you can share with us how this outrigger device can provide static buoyancy while at the same time still performing its task as principal propulsion device?

More specifically: When employed in the outrigger function, how do you generate thrust on the off side of the craft at the same time? Even more specific, how much static buoyancy does the device provide? Is it enough to statically resist capsize, or must it be employed in a dynamic fashion to do so?

It's that pesky design spiral loophole again, no? The one where you give some to get some?
