The BerleyPro Brudder Rudder Blade is made from CNC machined aluminum, which makes it much stiffer than the standard rudder blade Hobie Outbacks and Compasses are supplied with. It is also longer and has a larger surface area, all of which translates to more responsive steering controls that is especially noticeable when the going gets rough.
The key benefits of this rudder are
Increased straight line tracking performance
Reduced turning circle especially at low speeds
CNC machined aluminum blade to reduce flex
CNC machined aluminum shaft to reduce flex and change rudder pivot
5 Axis CNC machined acetal side plates to slice through the water and hold the rudder blade
