New WASZP Rudder – Design
While many of these upgrades were beneficial, the rudder consistently stood out. The transformation it brought was remarkable, leading us to focus on upgrading the current WASZP rather than creating a completely new boat.
We experimented with Mach2 foils from various eras, as well as foils from other Moths and foiling boats. Initially, we considered using carbon foils, but we persevered in finding alloy solutions that could be retracted like the current foils while maintaining efficiency. Eventually, we developed a solution that we are now fully committed to.
We have maintained the ability to retract the rudder in the current rudder box.
