Good for you. For full credit I'd like to see
the pictures.

Probably after the weekend - got a full day of racing tomorrow.


I discuss the hollowness of my rudder with a
friend. He suggested that I add some foam to
build it out. I think a layer or two of roving
and some fairing will be easier.

Do you mean glass fibre mat and resin? I'd have thought some sort of foam or
filler would be less work to fair, and probably easier and faster to apply.


Funny you should mention Seagull outboards. I
have an old Seagull 4 HP outboard that came with my
Etchells. It seems seized up.

It would be worth having a look inside the gearbox to se if there's any oil
in it. Do you have a workshop manual for it?


At some point I
need to try and get it working. Let us know what
you learn working on yours.

A gas-powered spanner is *very* useful.
