It's not in a mold, it's over mold stations. And it's not
quite ready to come off yet, I decided to do the gunwhale a
little differently (stronger). Plus I got some different
peel-ply that I'm not sure about yet.

Of course I agree with things that make sense!
I don't agree with just spinning the wheel... the only thing
that tells you is if it's going to come off in your hand...
better than nothing I suppose...


Ya know, I hate to agree with anything that Joe says, just because it's
more fun to do otherwise (even when he's right!). But Doug's comment
above is just too shockingly stupid to ignore. I always turn my wheel
stop to stop before I set off. I was taught to do so by a very
experienced sailor and I've seen others do it. If the King of Keels
truly thinks the only thing you can feel is a wheel coming off in your
hand, I'm glad his trawler is far far away and seeing so little use.

Nutsy,

A question for you or any of you helm jockeys? How about when you have
and inside & outside Helms? What is the checking procedure for Two
Helms, one Rudder?

Also; What checks for a Folding Prop (Martec)
