[Paddlewise] Help a Rudderite sin.

Well I should have read the sermons before piping up in church but amid
all this fervor I did have a question about rudders, that well, may have
been drowned out by the burbling of cavitation and the singing of the
choir.  I asked before and now do humbly do so again, about, well...

     Problem: how to sail a Feathercraft K1 with a small Balogh
     Batwing
     sail.  The Klepper standard rudder on my Aerius I worked well
     with the
     same sail.   Now I'm trying to make the K1 into a practical
     sailor.  The
     standard Feathercraft K1 rudder is much smaller and less
     powerful than
     the Klepper Aerius I setup.  What would be the consequences of
     (gasp) using the larger
     blade from the Feathercraft K2 rudder on the K1, perhaps
     shortened to
     approximately the same length as the K1 item?

Have mercy on my aquatic soul and give me some ideas.  Thanks.
