I made a strip rudder for my expedition single and it has been in service for 3 summer and seems to be ok. If I was to make a new blade for it I would make it a strip narrower and a inch or so shorter. There are pictures on Nick's page in the expedition single section. If you have more question email me or post here. Gary
