Commander #256 (Ceili)

[ebb]

Chance,
Now I see to what level I must aspire to come even close.

Truely awesome!. Masterful, you had to have made a hundred of 'em.

And brave you are, electing not to wrap the shaft that I will have to with litlgull's square rudder.

Your design honors our original round plankers and their gorgeous marriage of bronze and mahogany. Especially where the wood met the shaft.
The eye goes to that join - glass meeting bronze. Nice! Very nice indeed!
I'd give it whirl if my armature wasn't spread wide and was more like the original as you have it.
Even so don't believe I could bring it off as well as you have.

There's no reason that separation would occur there, given the rigidity of the design. Can't see the blade moving in relation to the shaft.
Can we see it in the boat!


Now, can you show us how it handles the Commander?
