Default WET RIDE TODAY

No, they are sticking with their stock sunfish
rudder. We did it partially for simplicity and
uniformity. We put the same rudder on the JY14's
as well. Then we just keep a couple spares on hand
and they'll fit any boat.


Good idea IMHO. Sending students out in boats with
undersize rudders is not a good idea. Once they get
the idea, it might be nice to let them get a handle on
the sort of bad handling characteristics they'll
encounter out in the real world, but then also sailing
a boat with an undersize rudder leads to some bad
helming habits.
