There *IS* the Medieval option. Accomplished with a Sawzall upon the

Brian Whatcott Altus OK.

That is a point. The User's group listing says that the rudder is
solid mahogany....

I will defend my suggestion although it sounds impractical for the
Alberg. A coupler properly made, probably from SS about 1" ID larger
than the shaft with deep holes drilled and then milled to size will be
as well balanced as the original.

If what you want is to get in the water, thirty minutes with a rasp
and sandpaper might do it. No sawzall needed. Or is it covered with
glass?
