That extra surface was just what the old style rudder needed - especially No more incontrollable rounding up when beating.   

Interestingly, I still have that old school rudder and raced extensively on San Francisco Bay and never had any "incontrollable" round ups.  I don't know who experiences those.  I have sailed on a Mark I boat that did install the newer rudder, and agree it's a great improvement.  But if you're beating to weather and are "incontrollable" you got other problems and issues than your rudder.

In my experience with the OEM rudder, easing the traveller and reefing the mainsail solves much of the problem.

Ron,

I have the wing keel and origonal shaped rudder on my 91.  Is this rounding up a thing?  My boat is new to me and i havent sailed it yet (all been refit work thus far).
