We have just fitted new lift up rudders with trim tab fittings to connect to our st1000 . It has alway worked when attached to the centre of the rudder bar but it struggles in seas over 1 1/2 meters. The new rudders have a modified shape which have a bigger balance area , tapered 1inch 1/2 moved from the back of the plates to the front of the plates with an extra inch on the frount and 1 1/2 taken of the bottom. The rudder pulley s have been altered the top port one has now different fixings to enable easy removal and lubrication. I haven't fitted the trim tab system yet as I wanted to test the rudders during our trip to gurnsey this year . The improvement is sparkling , it is lighter more responsive on the helm, the st1000 still attached to center of rudder bar is quicker and maintains a course with less effort
