Title: Becker Kort
Post by: Capitaine LaGaffe on October 22, 2010, 08:19:56 pm

Greetings,

Out of curiosity (and a perverse interest in unnecessary complications), has anyone built a "Becker Kort" (a Kort nozzle with a Becker flap: http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/My_models/31%20Dickie_4.htm)?

Hello, Yes I made one to fit on my 45" long Maggie M. In this particular case the Kort is stationary
ie fixed to the hull & skeg, with the Becker rudder behind. Steering ahead is good, astern so so.
