I wonder if that's why it has 2 rudders. I see no need for 2. Well..... The SV has a rudder that is offset to the right side of the transom and this is typical of oval racing boats. It's been stated that the SV was really designed for racing but I'm sure they found that most are purchased for sport runnng. So it was a big complaint among alot of new owners that the boat really didn't turn left well. With the rudder and turnfin on the right, it wasn't supposed to. This may be a lesson they learned and the built this boat to turn both directions well at the cost of some additional resistance. All the same the effect of the rudders would be double so it's all the more improtant that they are straight.
