That is a good looking Skiff Doug. Little far to drive and get for me.
I need something else, yester evening I fought all the way up wind on the lake (est 25ktswind), started to turn downwind for a haul ass ride home and did an gybe that was to much for the rudder on the labrisa. The rudder snapped off, the aluminum casting that held the rudder split in half with a loud boom and the rudder blade hit the deep six, did the fastest spiral ever :0( Luckly I had a paddle, took down the main and limped back to the marina with a paddle for a rudder on just the jib. I still have the top half of the tiller and hopefully the local metal shop can make me a new rudder with the parts I have left. Good news is it happened on my last sail of the weekend. Joe |
