2138395 9325420 PCTABS00028 The invention relates to a trimmer for a hovercraft with two engines to provide forward motion, an air compressor to generate the air-cushion beneath the craft and a stabiliser arrangement at its stern. It is the aim of the invention to provide a trimmer for a hovercraft which can be made with simple means and is capable of largely compensating for a shift in the centre of gravity. According to the invention, an additional force component is generated which compensates for the shift in the centre of gravity from the centre of buoyancy caused by difference, in the load aboard the craft. To this end, the stabiliser consists of a negatively arranged V-plane (7), whose downwardly directed stabiliser surfaces (9, 10) which are also fitted with a rudder element (11, 12) run centrally through the flow outlet apertures of the engines (2, 3).
