Re: Enlarge rudder on CD25?
Our CD25 "Hunky Dory" isn't very responsive going backwards either. But it's a full keel boat and we don't sail backwards often. 
. I don't believe a longer rudder can take the place of good planning in backing manuevers. And we wouldn't want anymore draft either. Just my 2 cents worth.... you got what you paid for.... alan
