Sailing rudder for Klepper folding boats The SmartTrack Original complemented by components from em².
It is ideally suited for sailing.
The rudder is designed in such a way that it is not possible for the blade to turn over when the boat is moving backwards, so the rudder lines cannot get tangled.
The rudder blade is pre-balanced: the blade is vertical, part of the rudder surface is in front of the rudder axis. This reduces the steering forces enormously and makes steering while folding boat sailing more relaxed.
The rudder blade has a perfect flow profile and is bend-resistant due to the high fibre content. With the long, vertical rudder blade, you retain control of your kayak even in waves.
Optionally, a tiller can be attached to the head plate when sailing.
An integrated spring takes over the downhaul.
We have a batch of PP (polypropylene) that is slightly wavy. We offer these as second choice.
SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) are the first choice rudder blades. The material is much more expensive and the holding time in the press is 10 times longer. On the other hand, rudder blades made of SMC have a smoother surface, are straight and have even higher strength values.
