Rudders​
Classics have more conventional rudder blades but do have winglets, which make the boat easier to sail especially on bear-aways. ​
Daggerboards
Daggerboards are allowed a small degree of curve, but not enough to make foiling possible. 
Classic Mainsail
The square-top and straight boom still provide performance advantages over foiling setups in sub-foiling wind strengths​.
​
Hulls
Most A Class classics in NZ are homebuilt and come in many shapes.
