I don't know what definition of curve is, but there is none unless it's in the plane of the surface which is probably the result of the layup of the fibreglass.Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

Both rudders appear to be straight.  What do you mean by “curved”?Roger PihlajaS/V Dynamic EquilibriumSent from my iPhone> On Nov 25, 2022, at 5:26 PM, Peter Nyberg <peter at sunnybeeches.com> wrote:> > Bob,> > You seem happy with your new rudder, and so I'm happy for you as well, but those two rudders look pretty much the same to me.> > --Peter> >> On 2022-11-25, at 17:09:29 EST, C.
