Int Canoe Rudders

Originally posted by redback Some of the more recent designs have a stern hung rudder to cut out the complication.  Have you noticed that they are small, that's becuase they don't have to penetrate the boundary between air and water, making them more efficient.

here's one i made earlier! ( for world champ AC in SF ? )

very skinny

the fittings go on the top of the deck, with two tubes ( not shown) that are bonded to the the deck edges to support the top bearing.

The idea being to get more leverage ( ie more distance between board and rudder ) when using the AC kite.
