I can't comment about a 39, but a friend decided he had enough fun with
round-ups and unintentional jibes with his 27-3 (with another friend
driving, he commented that he was "standing on the mast" during one of these
round-ups) and had a deeper and more modern looking rudder put on it.
Amazing difference! The new one was deeper and went straight down instead of
looking like a shark fin.

Subject: Stus-List 39 Mk1 again - rudder issue
Raced By and By for the first time, a round the clock distance race in the
Baltic. We went for an offshore distance strategy, to the Island of Gotska
Sandön and via various other checkpoints back to the starting point. We
did OK, about 140 NM. Half of the time we had a broad reach of about 18
kts and approx 2m waves from aft. She was crazy, very very difficult to
handle and twice we jived inadvertantly so the question is, has anyone
changed rudder, and if so is there a better design around? I am OK with
the spade concept but I think it needs to go deeper.
