TRIPLE-SUPPORT RUDDER SYSTEM-- A RUDDER THAT'S EASY TO MAINTAIN, AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DAMAGE.
The rudder is the most vulnerable appendage on any boat's hull. At Caliber, we take extra measures so that our rudder assemblies are strong and well-protected:

The rudder's steel core is welded to a shaft of solid stainless steel.
Our Triple-Support Rudder System shares the rudder's load among three bearings--one more than on most other boats.
For ease of maintenance and protection from corrosion, the upper rudder bearing, which supports most of the rudder's load, is housed inside the boat.
Our structural skeg not only supports the lower end of the rudder and shaft, but helps shield the entire assembly from damage in a grounding.
