: Oh yeah, understern rudder can be slightly smaller due to the end
: plate effect of the hull, so can be less drag.

Maybe a standard understern would be the most simple to make and less problems than a retractable. Maybe also less weight. Does anyone use greenland paddles with surf skies? I have been thinking maybe a TNR surf ski. I have been playing with the design with the kfoundry software. Nice boat.
