Hello,
I've been exploring rudder options to use for occasional down wind sailing. Has anyone tried this side mounted rudder system? It makes sense in theory, eliminating the on deck rudder weather vane/karate chop issue, and appears to keep from creating drag in the water if mounted above water line. I don't have much experience with rudders, just checking out the options. Thanks for any feedback anyone cares to share.
