Note the transom sheeting arrangement, which was soon replaced with a centre mainsheet though some die-hard sailors stuck with the old style of sail control which was also standard practice in many other classes including the Enterprise and GP 14. Also, (though the rudder blade is not fully down in this pic) when it was there was still quite some aft rake. The original drawings reflected the positioning but as sailors began raking their rigs aft they realised that the boat was more balanced with the rudder vertical. I do not doubt there was a rule change to accommodate the fashion.
