Hi there, am struggling to find any pictures myself for mine. Have stumbled across this before which may help figure things out? Click on the '3d' icon below pics on left and can zoom in/out rotate it etc, Dave.  :-))

Found turning via rudders very poor. I added bits to top and bottom as the above photo and it made a difference, but what really made a diiference was changing the pros. Helped with the turns and also speed through the water.

This picture shows the modified rudders fitted to Solents to improve turning.
