What is a flopper stopper??Rubber bands to keep the old deck shoes from "flopping"?

sort of like a paddle stuck up ones arse

flopper stoppers are hydrovanes suspended from poles port and starboard .
See film the perfect storm very good I fitted them to my previous boat a grand banks type trawler yacht this reduced roll in all seas to 5/10 deg
