Hi Chuck: The short answer is yes providing you are not on set schedule. If you study the pilot charts and local forecasting and assuming each port is no further away than 2 days you can wait for the right winds and sea state. If you are on a schedule than the answer is no as the KK42 and any displacement trawler will roll and your comfort but not necessarily safety will suffer. If you proceed out of the islands to South America than you should have stabilization. If you opt for a system like Niads then be sure you carry spare pumps as that appears to be the weak link (refer to NAR 2004). If you opt for mechanical paravanes then your boat will have to be modified to accept the pressure forces demanded by that system. These notes are brief and you may have further questions. Regards.
