While you have the rudder out, did you notice if there was a plastic
washer (delrin or nylon) between your rudder and hull? It's probably
worth replacing, if there was one. Not having one can cause your rudder
to bounce up and down in rough seas.
Wal
well, I don't know exactly how much play. I just know there is play. Yea I
can lift the rudder a 1/4". I could also go to 2- 3/16" thick delrin washers
if I was worried. Or I could just have 2 of each made and play around with it.
At the bottom, it could actually have been play at the top an
Dan,
How much play is there? Looks like a pretty tight fit without a bearing.
Can you lift up the rudder 1/4 inch to compensate for the SS washer?

3 5/8" Delrin rod could be hard to come by, 4" is probably the closest
you'll find (even at McMaster-Carr). But it does machine beautifully so you
could turn it to size on a lathe.
My rudder is essentially the same construction except it has a knurled nut
on top that rides on the Delrin instead of
I'm going to have to look closer but, all I could really see was the fiberglass
tube with an aluminum flange at the top and the rudder basically hangs by a pin
from there. 2 1/2" thick teflon looking "washers" keep the pin off the
aluminum and pretty much ride on each other to reduce friction.
After only one passage from Quebec to Lisbon under my belt, I can only repeat
what my almost world girdling buddy Danno said to bring along;
A sense of humour. The rest is in the details.
Cheers, have a great trip.

I had a new upper rudder bearing made for Touche' from 1/2 inch thick Delrin.
Any decent machinist should be able to do it. The next one I have made will be
from 1 inch or 2 pieces of 1/2 inch to increase the bearing surface.

Whenever race organizers fiddle with well established handicaps to even
things out or to produce artificial winners with an honest intent to spread
the winning around, trouble can often result...the base handicaps are on
the designs as I understand things and those handicaps are performance
based,

The other downside to this system is when a less competitive boat
invites along a very experienced sailor for a single race or a very key
race near the end of the series. A very good sailor will in fact up the
competitiveness of the boat and upset that system.

Any ideas if the carrier solvent could be harmful to sail filler resin?
If not, that would be pretty handy stuff (reduce weight aloft in a
shower or downpour too).

Rust-Oleum NeverWet relies on a layer of air to form the superhydrophobic

to play around with, but the coating is not at all durable.
