This is the drawing I made to have the stainless steel rudder skeleton made as shown in the next pictures. | Cutting out a form to become the inside of the rudder. |
All lines drawn around the skeleton. | Here it is all cut out and ready to fit. |
It fits!! | I put it on the boat to straighten the tangs and make sure I designed it to fit properly. Like I hope it doesn't hit the transom at its most extreme angle. |
First Layer of fiber glass installed. 2 Mat and 1 roving on both sides. Now I have to layer it up so it becomes an airfoil. | |
Here is the Captain inpecting the work. Now when I find a "star to steer her by", l'll have a rudder to do it! |
