Not to sound like a whiney bastard, but could you start a seperate thread regarding the rudder system you've developed? It'll bring more attention to your rudder system and not side-track this thread which is supposed to focus on hull design (though it does seem to have stagnated a bit). I should be putting another draft of the Freestyle 14 up this week. Just more work on the rocker, hoping to get a general "thumbs up" on it so I can get on to developing the cross sections.
