Yes 143mph winds. check scottish weather for far north of scotland (orkney islands) been told we have 2 weeks of 90mph winds. dolphin is less wandering but lean with wind is a strange feeling. need to get rid of air con unit (all 40kg) to help with lean.
It might be the 900.I spent some time on my back at a Dallas SAAB showroom in the early 1980s looking at all the plastic bits of the 900's underside.It did have some V-shaped components.
I felt as if these were all for splash and spray control rather than drag reduction.Don't know,and as far as I can tell,nothing was ever published about it.
