[Rhodes22-list] Curved Rudder | 84 Rhodes 22

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Bob,

I agree with Peter.  If there are any differences between the two rudders, they are not readily apparent in the photos.  Is there any measurable difference in parameters like maximum thickness, chord length from the leading edge to point of maximum thickness, etc?  Is there any asymetery in the curvature of the hydrofoil on each side? Both rudders appear to be straight.  What do you mean by “curved”?
