Help! Need a new rudder for our Glen-L 12
Glen-L's customer service is very responsive. Too, their 'boatbuilder
connection' at www.glen-l.com is an active forum with lots of Glen-L builders who will likely have some thoughts on your predicament. Awlgrip in the *bilge*...? A curious choice! MW |
The rudder on my 20ft mahogony strip sailboat was 3/4" plywood rounded in front and tapered in back. (taper to 1/8", or the thickness of the middle ply) I broke the rudder cheeks running before a strong wind and had to replace them, that's the two pices on either side at the top. It would not be difficult to replace that sort of steering arrangement entirely. Maybe you can replace your rudder cheeks with thicker ones made of plywood, and make a plywood rudder as well. To do that measure the gap between the cheeks to see how thick the plywood for the rudder has to be. Good luck. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
