One of the rudders has (TSANGAS GREECE) stamped on it and they appear to be made of stainless steel. I tried to do a google search and could not find anything. They came on a hobie 16 that I purchased today. Thanks mike here are some pics http://picasaweb.google.com/agardunia/HobIe# |

They sure look like stainless steel. I've seen a lot of rudders over the years, but that's a new one. I can't think of any reason why you would want rudders made of SS. They must be incredibly heavy. |

They are hollow and do not appear to any more heavy that the standard rudders. I will have to take them off and weigh them. Might be nice not to have to worry about the rudders cracking. Anyone else know or point me to someone that might about these rudders? Mike |

They weigh 8 pounds 4 ounces each. What do the fiberglass weigh? |
