agree...
I dont have the money to travel ( or time) to OD events, therefore I would buy any rudder, especially if it is 1/3 less the price ......
that would mean one possible OD boat less...
( which is a real bad thing )
-----------------------------------------
Now if it is class legal to tune a rudder ( making it thinner, etc etc... than these replacement rudders should incorporate these allowances.....maybe even more.
Plus it would be nice to have a little weatherhelm removed.
If somebody would offer such a rudder I would think that quite a few folks would buy one .... making it very interesting for a supplier to put some effort into it.

rig rite .. I am sorry I have tried a couple times, but it is a miracle to me that a company can be still around who operates like that.... The best was an telephone call 10 months after my original question. I am not kidding. They have this funky excuse of having a fire .... which happened 2 years ago to my best knowledge.... anyhow I digress
lets get a reasonable modern affordable rudder......
