The Dotan® Kick-Up Rudder 20 Blade 2 is a compact outboard rudder system for dinghies and catamarans between 10 and 16 feet. With a blade immersion of 515 mm — the shortest in the Rudder 20 range — and the STEINER hydrodynamic profile, it offers the ideal balance of minimalism and functionality for shallow waters and confined sailing areas.

Key Advantages

• Compact blade — 515mm immersion makes the Blade 2 ideal for shallow waters, tidal areas, and boats where minimal draft is essential.
• STEINER hydrodynamic profile — Engineered for efficient steering with reduced blade size.
• Automatic obstacle protection — On contact with rocks or shoals, the mechanism raises the blade instantly, preventing damage.
• Easy beach and dock launches — Lower the blade when ready, raise it when not — no tools required.
• Choice of fittings — Ø8 mm or Ø10 mm hole or pintle fittings.
