: 'least it doesn't seem to have a skeglike protrusion in front as well.(hehe)

: what abt mocking up that rudder you were saying that martin leonard had?

: -mick

Maybe low bridges. Interesting, sure looks like a lot of breakable parts. Wouldn't want to be in any surf with it. I wonder if the extra length blade fully compensates for being further back off the stern when lifted up going over waves?
