rudder, hardware and mast...



Have been working on a couple of things at once:




Rudder is shaped, glassed, beefed up around the gudgeon location and painted (first coat)




I have also been installing the Ronstan hardware. Here is some of the cockpit bling. I went w/ one access port and 2 speakers (thanks Chad for that idea).





Finally, I got the mast stood up fully rigged w/ the standing rigging. It looks like all of the rigging came out right. Time will tell as I tune everything, but at this point, it looks pretty good. Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera handy so pics will come later....
I am still short one boom.....need to work on that soon!!

  1. How long is the boom? There's a 505 boom that's for sale cheap I just got on the mailing list - don't know if it would work though.

  2. Jeff and Wobble did the speaker thing before me, so that's not my idea. Boat is looking good!

  3. Nicely done Ben ! You have been hiding that rudder from us ! Tell us more about it. You made it from scratch following the plans ?
    By the way, I refered to you in my blog as been the copyright holder for the rounded cockpit edges. İ did the same and it worked perfectly. Tks for showing us the way !
