Goodmorning,

As you may know a Coromandel has a fairly small rudder.  Many people mentioned that increasing ruddersize might be a wise thing to do when looking to increase balance while under sail. So this is one of my winter projects.

But how much bigger is big enough and when does the rudder get too big?

I took out the rudder this week and I am now increasing the rudder size by 12cm on the lower end of the rudderblade and 10cm on the upperside of the rudderblade. And this decision is really no more than a wild guess.

Again: is this enough or maybe too much?

Your input is very much appreciated!

Best regards,

Antoine
