So OK ... I found this S2 9.1 rudder lying on the ground yesterday ... part of a "project" S2 9.1 looking for a new owner.

thought some of you might be interested in what they did ... for comparison

So OK, Skipper of #537 Belle Faster was on board Vee Jay yesterday and noticed immediately that the rudder reaction was noticeably different than stock.

He was surprised that he was able to hands off the rudder at close haul for about 15 minutes straight. conditions were ~flat and wind steady.

This "additional balance" may be helpful to younger drivers as both his younger crew had no problems driving.
