FWIW, I have a drawing from C&C for a "High Aspect Ratio Rudder" for a
retrofit to the 35-1, dated Feb '73. It shows a constant chord length
straight rudder, and interestingly, it calls for changing the angle of
the rudder stock from the old swept back to almost vertical. Shows
closing up the old stuffing box and making a new one. Possibly this is
what is on your boat?

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.
