Title: When/when not to use a T-foil rudder
Post by: Willbw11 on 29 Mar 2017, 08:25
Hi All,
I recently bought a national 12 (3517) and am curious. I have two rudders, one foiling and one not, and wondered in what situations I would be better off using/not using the T-Foil rudder. I think that whilst I'm training and getting to grips with things I'm going to use the standard rudder but after I've gained enough experience/control I will use the T-F in races.
What are your views?
Thanks in advance.

Experience suggests the following:
Enjoy!
