This upgraded rudder for the Hobie Passport 10 and Passport 12.5 provides users with up/down control from the seat, enhancing maneuverability and lateral stability. When navigating tight spaces or sailing the Passport 10.5 or 12.0, this rudder offers superior authority compared to the stock version. The larger blade not only improves performance but also allows for easy stowing in shallow waters. The up/down control feature is especially handy for launching and landing, as well as for clearing debris from the rudder blade.
Key features include:
- Up/down control from the seat for convenient stowage and deployment, as well as debris clearance.
- Enhanced maneuverability at low speeds for better handling in tight areas.
- Increased surface area for improved lateral stability while sailing.
- Better tracking over long distances, reducing the need to frequently adjust the steering handle while covering water.
