Now racing 526 against 348 in
JYC tues nights ... so OK maybe going out in 20 with gusts to 25 not the best way to break in new and short-handed crew.
BUT a note on recovery from knock downs re design of rudder: I noticed that it seemed to take a bit longer and I had to work harder with the OD rudder on 526 than the rudder on 505 ...
I am thinking that because the modified rudder on 505 has more bite in the bottom 15 inches it reacts faster to near knockdown conditions than the OD rudder.
This input for yous that is looking to add a little balance ... but also as another + for rudder mod. more bite in hard heel conditions.
