[Public-List] Newbee Looking for help with rudder parts

[Gordon Laco]

Port Townsend Foundry are good people...but I think that Edson, who
originally supplied our fittings, still has the patterns.

That said, I've never had much luck finding someone there willing to discuss
the issue beyond agreement that they have the patterns for the Alberg 30's
rudder gear.
