Has anyone tried the new idasailor performance rudders on the 26M? If so how did they perform? Did they increase your speed? I would like to hear from anyone who has tried them.

I don't have a 26M but a V-21

and the difference between the stock OEM rudder and the new longer foil was astounding. I've had mine over to 60* in moderate wind with full up sails and not spun out since I put this thing on. I did manage to chinese going hard downwind because the rudder came out. It made for a wet but thrilling spinout to windward with no damage.
