Mark - At this point I don't recall what that cost but it wasn't much compared to the rudder cost. They may have even thrown in the steel sleeves. My recommendation is to take exact measurements on the vertical gudgeon spacing and send the brackets
That dimensioned template will be awesome, as it is looking like I will most likely have to order a new tiller, and idasailor appears to be my best source so far. I will check against my current scrapped rudder to verify dims. How much did idasailor
Mark - your layup schedule is similar to what I used when I recored Rhapsody. I used 2 layers 17oz bi-axial fabric with the build in 8 ounce mat on one side for both outer and inner skin, strengthening the outer skin because it was paper thin in spo
I'm looking at a disk of hull I just cut out. My trailer "missbehaved" and I have a spot of hull to replace about 1 foot below the waterline. The piece I have here is just shy of 1" thick. Call it 0.95". About 0.12" for th
Brandon at Pirate Cove had a "New" rudder from "the olde days" last summer when I was repairing 526s with penetrating epoxy. might still have it at a good price. Pirate Cove given choice off shore ... balanced rudder. I think

We have a modified ruder we might be interested in selling you. Let me know if thats of any interest and I can check with my partners. it has added length to the front edge for less weather helm effect on the helmsman.
Hi, Just blew out my rudder yesterday (will post pics showing the complete de-lamination on one side all the way up to the waterline; leading to trailing edge) it opened up like a paperback novel and created a storm anchor like affect. I may try
I can't believe that while this was going on they got the jenny neatly off the deck. although the main looks well secured. Showdown doesn't have data on the J29 owners site other than to indicate it is a west coast boat. Oh OK ... look at the 2nd
There is a tragic story attached to this article. "Donzo" Wilkinson from the Mumm 30 "One More Time" was killed when he was hit in the head by the boom on a gybe. Sailing Anarchy Post - Fisher Island Yacht Club 'Round The Island
I cleaned the injectors-I haven't check the spray pattern and check the exhaust elbow (it was in really good shape-just some soot) The engine will start very quickly run for a few seconds and slowly die like it is out of fuel. I thought I might hav
