The new rudder

90% complete.. I ordered a lock-down for the rudder, called a tiller tamer. That means I can't fit the lines until I have the tiller tamer and mount that also.

But, as promised, here are the pictures of the rudder.

The rudder mounts were hand made by my friend Al. Excellent work, especially given that all he had to work from were the old mount which did not fit, a very rough model cut from 1" pine boards and a verbal description. Nice work, Al!

The tiller was hand made from 1 x 2 red oak, trimmed and smoothed.

Maybe I should start a TV show called "This old boat"

I love that you're using old dining room chairs and electronics (is that a printer?) to hold things up. It's so McGiver.

As a matter of fact, it's a fax/copier/printer. Want it? Another example of more stuff than space here.

No way, dude; we have one of those already. However, if you have a spare bread machine...

No way, dude; we already have one of those (a fax machine without a land-line, heh).

On the other hand, if you happened to have a spare bread machine...
