Ideal Balance of Lightness and Strength
The Dotan rudder blade is designed for boats ranging from 1.5 to 4 meters (5–12 feet), including catamarans and dinghies. The blade has a thickness of 14 mm.
Innovative Manufacturing Technology
Thanks to advanced technology based on high pressure and simultaneous heating, the blade material undergoes dense compression, significantly increasing its strength without adding extra weight.
Internal Longerons for Structural Stability
An integrated longeron serves as a reinforcing rib, providing additional structural stability even under extreme loads. The monolithic blade structure eliminates vibrations and ensures steady performance during operation.
Advantages of the Dotan Rudder Blade:
- Optimized Hydrodynamics: The blade profile is designed based on NACA 0009 data, reducing wave and induced resistance to improve sailing performance.
- Enhanced Maneuverability: The hydrodynamic shape minimizes water resistance, improving steering precision.
- Durability & UV Protection: A special coating protects the material from sun exposure, extending its lifespan even under intense use.
- Increased Reliability: The reinforced construction withstands significant mechanical stress.
Conclusion
The Dotan rudder blade combines cutting-edge technology, durability, and efficiency. It is an ideal choice for catamarans, dinghies, and other small boats, ensuring comfortable and precise control in any conditions.
