[Public-List] Inspecting a wooden rudder

[gregr at nethere.com]

Hi Folks,

Ayla is hull #43 so I'm guessing she has one of the original wooden rudders.
It was just the other night as I went through all the maintenance items on
the site that I learned early boats had wooden rudders so I've never
checked. I'll find out in January when I haul out. As preparation for that
I'd really appreciate any tips on how to inspect and determine the
condition of a wooden rudder.

Also, I remember a series of posts by someone that built a new rudder. I'd
love to hear from them about the experience and any pitfalls they ran into.

As always, THANKS for all the help!

Regards,

Greg
