Rudder Head (Stock) 14 with a hole Ø8 or pintle Ø6 / Ø8 mm

Durable and Wear-Resistant Material. The Dotan rudder head is made from modern composite materials reinforced with fiberglass. It is highly resistant to corrosion, UV radiation, and capable of withstanding significant dynamic loads. Unlike aluminum counterparts, this component does not rust and is designed for long-term use in challenging marine conditions. Minimalistic and Reliable Design. The mechanism consists of just three main components: a roller, a locking mechanism, and a guide rail. Thanks to the minimal number of moving parts, it is highly reliable, requires almost no maintenance, and can operate flawlessly for many years. This is a solution that has stood the test of time. Adjustable Rudder Mounting. The design allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower rudder mounts, ensuring compatibility with various types of transoms.

The upper mounting bracket can slide along the guide rail and be secured using the included screws.
The rudder head is designed for blades with a thickness of 14 mm, ensuring even load distribution and a secure connection between the blade and the rudder head.

Advantages of the Dotan Rudder Head:

Resistance to corrosion and UV radiation.
Capable of withstanding high loads without losing strength, even under intensive use.
Simple and reliable mechanism with a minimal number of moving parts.
Flexible setup for installation on various types of vessels.

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.
