Most of us have power steering in cars today. Sailing a sunfish in heavier winds is like driving a car WITHOUT power steering. It is very difficult to steer! This proposed change will correct this problem. It is not to make the boat faster but easier for everyone to sail. For those of us that race, we see how the younger and women sailors struggle and have also seen the positive results from those that have tried the new rudder. Allowing for an angle change to the existing rudder will also fix this problem.
