His firm grip on the hydroplanes was vastly superior to Jules Verne's palsied enthusiasm.

The repairs were crude, but sufficient to prevent further damage, and to make the minimal necessary use of rudder and hydroplanes now possible.

She's probably pretty fast on the surface, from the looks of her, and those hydroplanes on the sail would give her good maneuverability under water.

The tall sail, with its horizontal hydroplanes, looked like a giant robot from a science-fiction movie.
