Rudder/tiller Upgrade
This rudder upgrade for the 23.5 offers tremendous advantages in handling and performance. Your boat will now have a tame helm, you will look forward to sailing upwind with reduced effort and better pointing. The all-stainless electropolished rudder head is immensely strong and torsionally rigid, with perfect balance and feedback for the helmsman. It also features our one-line uphaul/downhaul system, which will raise or lower the rudder with one pull.
The patented design incorporates a 316 Stainless nitrogen-charged gas strut for perfect blade control in all situations. The rudder stays down, but if an obstacle is encountered the gas strut allows the rudder to come up quickly, then reset itself to the fully down position. Beaching is now a joy instead of a chore. The blade is solid HDPE, true NACA airfoil design, offering maximum lift with minimum drag. This rudder also rotates through a full 180 degrees for launching and mooring with ease.
