Will a DEEP spade rudder prevent chine tripping ?

With all thats been said and what been written this site is going no where You help to make race boats handle better and and more safely ?? i would say by some of you questions you need to keep away if you want to help any one . i sure wouldnt want you any where near anything i was making !! What planet do you come from ??

 

Rudders are supposed to push the boat and not water sideways.

 

My friends & fellow racers feel & see the increased control of the boats in unstable & sudden changing racing conditions.

Their thanks & smiles are all the proof I need to continue trying to keep them safer as they bring pleasure to the viewing spectators.

A trueism exists in safety. Bigger is usually better. Bigger turn fin. Bigger Rudder. Bigger whip struts. Bigger etc.

 

Ok how about posting some pictures of the boats you are refering to as race boats . What like of hp and motors are they using ?? how big are the boats ??
inboard or outboard?? I am a racing freak from way back and love to blast on water !!.

 

That's what she said, I'm sure. However, if we are talking about appendages in boats, the smallest that will do the job will have the less drag, hence will be better.

 

wow, this stoped suddenly. anyways I have a ?. a 17' dory with a 5'7" beam running a 15hp outboard, lets take the willapa 17. what kind of keel would you put on it to keep it from sliding on ya? I don't think the boat could go that fast but without one would it still slide but maybe not trip? I like what tunnel showed, the 2 outboard keels at 45*. would that work or what? ok, now I just lost myself. I hope I didn't lose you guys. thanks for any info.
