abstract={Trim-tab is a device for controlling and stabilizing planing boats in different sea conditions. This paper presents to find dimensions of the trim-tab at various speeds of the boat to reach the minimum drag. The speed of the boat is from15 m/s to 30m/s. Drag of the boat is calculated by Stavisky¡¯s method. The minimum drag is found based on the optimum the trim angle. A Matlab program code is prepared for these calculations and all the all results such as drag, dimensions of the trim-tab, longitudinal center of pressure and time angle at different speeds of the boat are presented and discussed.},
