when you turn the other way it actually lifts it out of the water
Now I can see that as a brown trousers moment !! [X(]

the rudder side-on the renegade its fitted on the left! (from the rear)

Now that raises an interesting point.
Why are some rigger rudders on the left and some on the right??
Two angled turnfins is indeed a recipy for disaster, or a brown trousers moment, as you called it.
But as it's a learning project, go ahead and mount them, and see hat happens when you try to turn at full speed, make a video, so we all can learn.
The main reason for an offset rudder is the fact that it can be smaller, as it stands in a clear undisturbed waterflow.
Smaller means less drag. Left or right doesn't make a lot of difference in my experience.
