35-2 rudder modification

[kdr]

I would like to increase the size of my rudder. Foss Foam recommends either the ericson 38, or the cal 40. all comments greatly appreciated.

This URL appears to have some info on rudder modification for a 35.

Rudder Modification

We recently had Don Foss make a rudder for us to replace a standard rudder on our 89' E38-200. We chose an eliptical design based on the CAL 40. The rudder was very high quality and we are happy with it. Installation took much longer than we expected, so anticipate quite a bit of modifications at the boat yard. Make sure to request a full length rudder post sleave.

E-35 rudder modification

does anyone have a good profile plan for the 'Cal-40' type rudder for a Ericson 35 ?

My E35-2 has an E38 rudder installed by FO. Don't know who made it. Very happy with it's performance. Looks a little strange when out of the water because the fwd lower corner points fwd instead of tapering back. But I don't think that matters much. Have successfully controlled close hauled in 20kts unreefed (but not recommended). By the way, I have an oversized wheel.

Cal 40

This image of a Cal 40 rudder overlaid onto an Olson (sic) 34 rudder from Foss Foam California, installed new last year. Fit perfectly, better bite upwind, no perceptible skittishness (Autocorrect didn't box out that word, so it must be legal) off wind.
