Thanks guys

Yes I will add a small race style rudder, deep and skinny with a NACA foil. But with some sort of bunge thats holds the rudder in the middle of the boat. When the rudder is not at woork.

Yes I could feel the impressive speed for at least a week or so . But it was great fun specialy when you are racing your own design
