Rudder Project 
Rudderectomy yesterday morning. Couldn't quite get enough height to drop it so it was down the hill from the storage lot to the sloped launching ramp. After backing the trailer onto some 8x8 block it came free.

Throw it back in! 
- THink about adding a bit more body down low?

- That's a good thought. Rudder design put more surface down low about then.

- The rudder in that pic is more like the one I ended up building for the 32'.
- Paul, how does the rudder stock attach to the rest of the steering?
- The shaft continues 30" beyond the top of the rudder
- What is the joint that attaches the rudder stock to the shaft above?
- Oh, maybe it's one piece all the way through?
