Hobie Cat Europe made carbon rudders for a while - I have a set that I use on my 14 now.

They are distingiushed by the grey "Hobie Cat" and flying H on each side over top of the clear carbon fabric finish.

They are a little thinner than EPO's, but otherwise very good rudders.

Thanks, Matt.

Interestingly, these don't have the Hobie logo on them. Its another name, but I can't remember offhand. The original owner of the boat raced regularly (sails still have his sponsor name on them), so I am assuming that they are equivalent and class legal

As long as it's the same profile as the stock rudder and meets the thickness maximums in the class rules, it's a class legal rudder no matter where it came from (16's and 14's only).
