I like the idea of skeg hung rudders but the round the world racers seem happy with spade rudders.

I would try to avoid them but not a deal breaker. They have the advantage of easy installation and probably quieter and smoother operation. Downside is the alloy castings add another metal to the mix. Anodes costly and the unit has to have hard antifouling so if you use ablative the drive area has to have a different antifoul. Boats that are slipped regularly no problem.

Bit of a step down from your S&S.


Ok..that's interesting you say that about my S&S. The CB's are just so pretty classic looking. I know..I'm a girl.
