The Empacher rudder fin is an original Empacher component for Empacher rowing boats. This part is used on boats where the rudder is positioned directly behind the fin and ensures a stable course and precise steering.

The combination of fin and rudder position creates an efficient water flow along the hull of the boat. This helps the boat remain stable on course while the coxswain can control the rudder accurately. This contributes to optimal performance during both training sessions and races.
