Rudder Head 14/AS with holes Ø8mm

Key Features

Advanced Materials for Maximum Durability

The Dotan rudder head is made from innovative composite materials reinforced with fiberglass. This high-strength material is resistant to corrosion and UV radiation, ensuring long-lasting reliability even in harsh marine environments. Unlike aluminum alternatives, the Dotan rudder head withstands dynamic loads more effectively, providing durability and stability over time.

Proven Reliability

The design consists of just three key components: a roller, a latch, and a guide. With minimal moving parts, the risk of failure is significantly reduced, making maintenance simple and hassle-free. This mechanism has been extensively tested in real-world conditions, guaranteeing reliable performance for many years.

Adjustable Rudder Gudgeon Position

The rudder head allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower rudder gudgeons, enabling precise adaptation to various transoms and stern configurations.

The upper rudder gudgeon moves freely along the guide rail and can be securely fastened with the included screws.
Designed for rudder blades with a thickness of 14 mm, ensuring even load distribution and reliable integration of the rudder system.

Advantages of the Dotan Rudder Head

Resistant to corrosion, UV exposure, and high loads.
Reliable design with minimal moving parts.
Easy adjustments for seamless compatibility with different types of boats.

Optimized Rudder for the Optimist Class Our engineers have designed a rudder specifically for promising racers in the Optimist class. The unique construction of this rudder will help future champions achieve outstanding results faster. Advanced Manufacturing Technology The rudder is produced using advanced technology that combines high pressure with thermal shock. This method significantly increases the compression of the fiberglass laminate compared to traditional vacuum molding techniques. Key Benefits of High Compression: Layers Form a Monolithic Structure: The fibers of each layer bond seamlessly with the adjacent layer, creating a uniform material without weak points. Improved Strength, Rigidity, and Durability: The rudder demonstrates exceptional resistance to loads and wear. Enhanced Resilience: Its ability to quickly return to its original shape after stress ensures superior flexibility, especially critical when tacking in waves. Included Components The set includes a rudder and rudder fittings, ensuring full readiness for installation and use. Ideal Profile and Hydrodynamics A smooth, high-quality surface finish on the rudder reduces water resistance, increasing speed. The cross-section of the rudder is based on the NACA 0009 hydrodynamic profile, ensuring superior stability and maneuverability. Compliance with International Standards The rudder is fully compliant with the latest IODA rules, ensuring its suitability for international regattas.
