My '74 S21 has a home-built re-worked rudder. The blade is mahogany, shaped to a nice foil contour.. It is simply painted with the same anti-foul bottom paint as the hull. I leave the boat wet all season, but swing the rudder up so it is dry at dockside. The blade is perfect after 30+ years. (except where I dinged it into the motor prop while trying to steer too tight via rudder with the blade half up in shallow water once)
