[00:00:00]Double rudder or single rudder monohull?

[00:00:03]Ladies and gentlemen, as you see here we have a double rudder boat and a lot of misinformation about these boats. The main reason that we have the double rudder is because the boats became very wide and when they are healing the single center rudder is not effective anymore. So, it's an improvement to the hydrodynamics and it has to do with a better behavior during the healing. Is it better or worse? It depends of the boat. There are boats that are much faster with a double rudder instead of the center rudder, but that depends also of the sails, of the trimming, of a lot of factors. What for sure we can say is that when we go downwind the double rudder, guys, it's it has much better stability. So, double rudder downwind for me is dominating.
