I see a lot of racing boats with boat wings (i.e. lift stabilizers) attached on the bow and I understand the physics behind them. Can these be adjusted while the boat is in motion (i.e. racing) similar to a trim tabs on the stern or are they manually adjusted through trial and error to a fixed position for best performance?

Canards....and yes they are adjustable using the same principle as trim tabs. There is a electric shock that moves the main shaft. Down for rough water and up to a certain extent or maximum lift. Too much up can hurt your top speed tho. Find the sweet spot on the GPS and hold it to the floor!!

Once you find the right position, you stay there. No need for adjustments as you race. I have a mechanical control in my boat. Actual gain was 2-3 MPH. The faster you go, the more it helps, so in some other cases the increase could be better.
