Good questions! The first rudder change predates my relationship with the boat so I don't know why it was changed in the first place.
This rudder took a hit and was repaired many years ago. Water infiltration through the patch has done it's work. I can't say from personal experience what the difference is, but the those with a longer history with the boat than I do say it was better with the old rudder. Derek DeVries The Fifth Day
