Hello fellow Sunfishers,
As the title of the post says, I am making a new style rudder for my Sunrish which has the old style rudder hardware. Using the class rule book and drawing it all out, when I measure the angle between the leading edge of the rudder and the perpendicular line of the transom the angle appears to be 30 degrees. Does anyone happen to have that measurement handy. I suppose it really doesn't make much of a difference as none of it will be class legal, but I was curious.
Interestingly, my old rudder seems to be swept back much more. At first I thought the rudder hardware might be the difference, but the swing down plate seems to be parallel to the transom.
Thanks in advance for the help.
