A wee bit of progress on what will become Ceili's new rudder someday. I spent the morning assembling my notes and putting them down on paper so that I may find out what kind of damage a machinist will charge to perform the machine work.
Finally cut out the core profile for the rudder, as seen. I utilized the measurements from the line drawing depicting the alternative profile (constellation). Basically the rudder profile will assume the look like that which graces Bristols.
As you can see, I had decided a time ago, to replace the stock tiller head assembly (strap and cap). The one shown is from Spartan Marine in Maine and was machined for the 1 inch rudder stock (shaft).
