New Rudder...so far so good!

I am liking the new rudder! it has a much lower aspect ratio so it works great in shallow water.  It is 3/8ths inch polyethylene so it is strong.  It is a flat plate so I might have someone make one out of 1 inch polyethylene in a NACA 10 profile someday.  In the mean time it is OK!  Can't wait to try it in the surf!

Here is a close up:

Here's the kind of happiness that occurs when rudders work like they should:
