Post for Peter

This post is for Peter (not for you), so that he can see the damage to the rudder. He's a friend of the couple who read the blog, and whom I met last night. I'm going over to his shop tomorrow to try to fix the rudder. Man is this blogging thing paying off already.

Peter, I have a box of 20 four inch steel mending straps that I was going to use to reinforce the fiberglass. I was going to lay them across the joints and fiberglass over them. Because of the rudder design, you can not screw in the straps. But if you have a better idea, let's do it. Also, I have all the pieces of the rudder housing, except a small piece on the bottom. I'm either going to have to fabricate that piece, or just live without it for the time being.
