- (AKA Old Curmudgeon) There is nothing wrong with that rudder!
Throw it back in! 
- THink about adding a bit more body down low?
- I should give that some more thought, Westie
- That's a good thought. Rudder design put more surface down low about then.

- That doesn't look like an Ericson 35.......
- 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?
