It will be better if he made it deeper
Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Josh Muckley Sent: February 14, 2013 2:20 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List 1989 C&C 37+ rudder rebuild Graham, I haven't sighted the rudder specifically yet nor do I have even mildly calibrated tools with which to make measurements, so the answer to your question is "maybe". There was some deformation from years of freeze/thaw on the remaining original skin. Steve did sand and fair those deformations as best he could. He also made sure to create the proper shape out of the foam prior to laminating it. The fiberglass matte was also wrapped around the edges about 4 inches the whole way around. So truely the rudder would probably not fit in the original mold (on either side). However, given Steve's expertise, I believe that whatever inconsistencies may exsist will be negligible and irrelevant to the performance of the boat. Not only that but the rudder will certainly be 100x better than the way it was. I can only hope at this point. :) Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD > ------------------------------ > > Message: 3 > Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 06:58:16 -0400 > From: Graham Collins <cnclistforw...@hotmail.com> > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com > Subject: Re: Stus-List 1989 C&C 37+ rudder rebuild > Message-ID: <blu0-smtp306fafa92f4f726f3f550f3d8...@phx.gbl> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; Format="flowed" > > Cool, thanks Josh! > > Question, wouldn't this make it slightly non-symmetrical?
