Steve: Are there two versions of the Sundeer 60, a shorter 56 and a longer 60? With a 60ft is this perhaps why the owner of TOUCAN moved the rudder further aft? Would it make sense to do it, i.e. would it improve control, say, downwind; are there any drawbacks? Have other 60’s done the same? I’d be interested in your thoughts; haven’t been able to speak with the owner. In advance, thanks…Peter <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hi Peter: The rudder was moved aft to make room for a bigger engine\/prop on TOUCAN. It would help steering, but then we’ve never heard any reports of the normal rudder position being a problem in heavy going. <\/p>\n

The hull was drawn at 60′–then shortened three feet to make the 57-footer (Sundeer 56).–Steve <\/p>\n
