In Response To: Rudder Replacement ()
I thought you had rebuilt the rudder on Endless Summer but it's been a long time. You have several great ideas that I'm going to borrow. I especially like the carbon fiber reinforcing around the prop aperture. If you can find your photos without too much trouble I would love to see them. I'm especially interested in seeing the profile you ended up with. In the meantime I'll take a look at the Alberg 35 owners site.

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.

- 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?
