OK. Now what shape is the sail? Three sided or four?
You'll need pintles for the new rudder, so measure the diameter of the holes in the gudgeons. Make sure one pintle is longer than the other -- it makes hanging the rudder MUCH easier. Check out http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/sto...s/gudgeons.htm or http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/ == Marine Hardware == Gudgeons and Pintles I couldn't tell if your gudgeons were bronze or stainless. I'd match the material. The tiller will give you an opportunity to get creative. Attaching it to the rudder can be done in many ways. I'll send you a photo of the scheme prescribed by Danny Greene for Chameleon, a nesting dinghy I built. Note that the tiller is pivoted at the rear of the rudder head and slotted to fit down over the rudder. No high stress fittings required and it folds to stow neatly. (The photo was taken during construction and it looks better with paint and varnish applied.) Roger http://home.earthlink.net/~derbyrm "Melandre" wrote in message ... For those interested, here are a few pictures... http://members.shaw.ca/melanie4/Sailboat.jpg The daggerboard (now that I know the difference) space is about 1" X 11". Andre |
