Rake the mast for speed/power, adjust the rudders for helm until almost neutral and proceed to rip the rudders off the gudgeons or break the rudderblades becose the load was too high. Tried and tested.. Or build the rudder system/transom bulletproof, rake the mast enough aft, overload the rudders so they ventilate and loose control. Tried and tested..
Rolf,
I don't believe sail load is breaking foward raked rudders regardless of make rake.
When you put the tip of the rudder foward in relation to the top the load on the rudder greatly increases. Similar to foward swept wings on a aircraft.
I think what needs to happen is the front of the rudder head needs to be shaved so the whole rudder is moved foward closer to the pivot point to reduce helm. If you want to improve helm response rake the tips foward.
