A control mechanism for a watercraft includes a selectively movable flap connected to an actuator, which moves the flap into and out of the flow of water to affect steering, deceleration and trimming. The flap is recessed with respect to the lower surface of the hull so that it does not create drag
A control mechanism for a watercraft includes a selectively movable flap connected to an actuator, which moves the flap into and out of the flow of water to affect steering, deceleration and trimming. The flap is recessed with respect to the lower surface of the hull so that it does not create drag at high speeds. The flap may be a portion of the ride plate, may be disposed in a recess in the bottom of the hull, or may be disposed on the stern above the bottom of the hull.

The device of claim 7, wherein the vertebrae having decreasing heights in a direction vertically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tail assembly. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the harness has at least one dorsal fin. 11. The device of claim 10, wherein the at least one dorsal fin is detachable. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail assembly has at least one dorsal fin. 13. The device of claim 12, wherein the at least one dorsal fin is detachable. 14. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member has at least one dorsal fin. 15. The device of claim 14, wherein the at least one dorsal fin is detachable. 16. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member is flexible. 17. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member has two flukes. 18. The device of claim 17, wherein the tail member flukes have at least one thickened edge. 19. The device of claim 17, wherein the tail member flukes have at least one reinforced edge. 20. The device of claim 1, wherein the harness further comprises a first back member and a second back member, the second back member being coupled to the first back member, the frame being attached to the harness second back member. 21. The device of claim 20, wherein the second back member is slidably coupled to the first back member. 22. The device of claim 1, wherein the harness further comprises a first back member and a second back member, the second back member being coupled to the first back member, the tail assembly being attached to the harness second back member. 23. The device of claim 22, wherein the second back member is slidably coupled to the first back member. 24. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member further comprises lateral stabilizers. 25. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member further comprises at least one thickened outer edge. 26. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member further comprises at least one reinforced outer edge. 27. The device of claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a second driver to be interchanged with the driver, the second driver having longer apexes than the driver. 28. The device of claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a second driver to be interchanged with the driver, the second driver having shorter apexes than the driver. 29. The device of claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a second driver, interchangeable with the driver, the second driver having more apexes than the driver. 30. The device of claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a second driver, interchangeable with the driver, the second driver having less apexes than the driver, but at least three apexes, and further wherein the driver has more than three apexes and the second driver has three apexes. 31. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail assembly further comprises a resilient portion, the driver single apex bearing upon such resilient portion during rotation such that the portion is deformed as the single apex member rotates, and returns to the undeformed state when the single apex member rotates beyond the perpendicular position against the portion, thus causing a displacement of the tail assembly such that the tail member is moved toward the second position. 32. The device of claim 31, wherein the resilient portion has a generally longitudinal groove, the groove receiving and laterally constraining the single apex member as the single apex member bears upon the resilient portion. 33. The device of claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a second propulsion member, interchangeable with the at least one propulsion member, the second propulsion member requiring a different amount of force for tensioning. 34. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member further comprises a central stabilizer. 35. The device of claim 1, wherein the tail member further comprises a tail member top and a substantially rigid member positioned proxim
