() It looks like one of those projects that is easy to postpone because it such a large undertaking. Congrats for taking the bull by the horns, you'll be very satisfied next summer knowing all is well with the rudder. I'm looking forward to watching the project progress. Best regards, David

- 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?
