Sorry to bring back an old topic, but I am doing my best to research this topic and finding little of a concrete nature. I've just read the thread on Zebedee's rudder; like Zebedee, Tapatya often has a fair bit of tiller angle despite my best efforts at balancing sails. I feel that some rudder improvements may help.

I read with interest that increasing the rudder balance is probably the way to go - I don't really want to change the angle of the rudder stock (for want of a better word). I note that Paul says he has some 21% balance on his new rudder. That's significantly more than Tapatya has. Can anyone point me in the direction of finished improved rudder designs for Benford dories, or other relevant info?

Many thanks

Tony
