Flick of the Wrist magic

Effortless Rudder Control with a Simple Flick of the Wrist!

The Dotan Rudder Mechanism: How It Works

• Lift the tiller and quickly lower it—the rudder blade locks into one of two positions: down (working) or up (raised).
• Repeat the same motion to switch the blade to the opposite position.

This mechanism is so intuitive that even children master it quickly. Dotan makes steering easy and enjoyable for sailors of all ages!

Practice Makes Perfect:
Before heading out on the water, practice lifting and lowering the rudder blade a few times to familiarize yourself with the system.

Raise or Lower Two Rudders Simultaneously

The Dotan system allows you to raise or lower two rudders with a single motion.

Navigating Shallow Waters:

When the tiller is held in the upper position, the rudder blade automatically adjusts to the seabed contours, maintaining control of the boat even in shallow waters.

Casting Off from Shore:

After casting off, simply lift and lower the tiller—the blade immediately drops into the working position and locks vertically. The entire process takes just half a second.

For comparison:

1. Advanced rudder systems require multiple steps, including locking and securing the tiller.
2. More common systems rely on ropes, elastic cords, or other mechanisms for operation.

With the Dotan rudder, you stay focused on what's ahead. This is especially critical in crowded harbors or while navigating waves, helping to prevent damage and avoid unnecessary repair costs.

Dotan Rudder: Built for Protection

• Automatic Obstacle Avoidance: If the rudder blade strikes an underwater obstacle, it automatically lifts, preventing damage to the rudder.
• Easy Recovery: To return the blade to its working position, simply lift and lower the tiller in one motion.
• Tangle-Free Operation: If weeds or debris get caught on the rudder, the same simple motion will quickly clear the obstruction, allowing you to resume your journey or race without delay.
