Allen previewed two high performance rudder stocks for Wayfarer and Fireball at this years leading industry trade show METS in November. The stunning design certainly caught the eye of the visitors on the stand and created a real buzz of interest.

The designs are based on cleverly interlocking precision machined components, and do away with the chunky pintle and gudgeon brackets that are typically found on pressed aluminium stocks. The final assembly is very stiff and robust, making the tiller far more responsive.

The stocks are due to be launched at the RYA Dinghy show in March 2010.
