My rudder is toast, and just wanted to get some feedback on this guys work. If any one has one of his rudders I'd really like to hear how you like it!

Thanks, Mark

I am close to having one. I am in the process of building the blank that he is going to machine.

I've had one, for 4 years now. Only complaint is that it was a little snug between the cheek plates; I had to shim open the teak boards about .030" to improve the fit. The part that sticks in the water is dimensionally identical to my original. His rudders are considerably lighter than the average foam-core rudder and will require "corrector weights" (~8 lb) to weigh in to the one-design minimum.
