This all sounds very fascinating. I wish I had time to acquire this
information formally, but that, alas, is not within my ability. The
project I am working on demands so much of my time. I do
occasionallly wonder if acquisition of formal certifications in such a
field might make my opinion a little more respectable. but that is
alli can muster right now, an
anecdotal opinion that cannot be backed up otherwise.
I though such beasts do exist for rudders..
o, probably only one of dozens.
I doubt that anyone has ever purchased a boat having everthing they
want - unless it is custom built and designed for them. Buying a
boat
for most of us is a compromise...overall you may like the boat and
many aspects of it. For example a lead vs cast iron keel. Or a
spade
rudder verses transom rudder, etc, etc.....
BTW one point in favor out outboard rudders is the strength &
simplicity
of this configuration.
Or a keel hung rudder....
thanks for the info. If I have time and inclination, I will continue
researching what you have provided.
