Here is a picture (not my boat)of the same design rudder I have. You may find other pictures in Trailer Tris yahoo forum.
I do not know if you have to be a member to view photo's.
You can also see a picture with several Trailer Tri's on beach on the F-Boat.com web sight under the Construction tab.
My boat is a TT720 and you can see the design under the background/ history tab
Even if you maintain a 20% balanced rudder when pivoted, I believe the remaining 60% that is not balanced will move back from pivot axle and increase load. The center of area of unbalanced area will be moved farther away from pivot axis.
