I am considering modifing the rudder to extend some of it in front of the hinge point to reduce the amount of pressure on the tiller (similar to a spade rudder or a j-29) to make it more cuiser-spouse-child friendly! I am sure some of you have considered it and/or done it. I would like to keep the original section to avoid PHRF complications. I wish to modify/build a second rudder and keep the original one stock. Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks-Mike Leary, Pangea #21
