High performance replacement rudder for the Tanzer 7.5.
The new planform replaces the original-style scimitar rudder with a modern, balanced rudder blade.
The Unifoil 4 rudder is 80" overall in length, with a 15.5" chord and a 2" sectional thickness.
The new Tanzer 7.5 rudder uses a true NACA 0012 airfoil shape for maximum lift and minimum drag.
Owners using this rudder report dramatically reduced helm effort when close-hauled, crisper tacking and improved pointing to weather.
Better control when running under spinnaker is another improvement often reported.
Construction is solid HDPE UV resistant polymer.
Pricing includes new super-duty pintles fitted to the rudder for a five minute install when you've received your new rudder.
Just drop-in and go sailing, faster.

To ensure accurate pintle placement also fill out a Rudder Worksheet.

* Because this particular rudder is 2" thick requires a 2" wide butt end tiller for direct install. Or we can send you HDPE shim to use with your existing 1.5" wide tiller at no additional charge. We'll ship these shim automatically unless a new tiller is ordered with this rudder. *

Equip your new rudder with a new mahogany and white ash, laminated tiller. By ordering your tiller with your rudder, you will receive tiller brackets ($49), bolts ($3.75), and labor ($18) for free, which is a $70 value. This eight layered, laminated tiller comes ready-to-varnish with marine penetrating oil or choose to have your tiller varnished with premium UV resistant spar varnish . Or, our epoxy and varnish finish has an epoxy base coat to ensure a long and low maintenance life for your tiller. The most common tiller used on the Tanzer is a short style "E or B" and this style can be viewed on our Tiller Worksheet. 

Don't forget the tiller cover made from Pacific Blue Sunbrella, to protect your new tiller from the elements.
