Hi John, I'm traveling this week and will measure when I get home but in my rough notes I have the standard rudder as 43 5/8" and the longer rudder as 48 1/8". - bill

The Bruce Farr designed longer rudder is 47.6 inches on the trailing edge. As I recall the original short rudder was 4.5 inches shorter.. measured on the trailing edge.

My notes are from the leading edge and the longer rudder is built from the Farr drawings, the RudderCraft folks obtained original ones.

48" would be the long rudder. Mine is 47.5" at the trailing edge and 47" at the leading edge.

Here is a pic of the deep rudder on the RudderCraft website.
https://store.ruddercraft.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=181_151&product_id=780 RudderCraft does not have a template for the original/standard rudder. If anyone wants to part with their standard rudder, let me know. john |
