[Public-List] More rudder questions

[George Dinwiddie]

On later rudders, there were pins internal to the rudder instead of 
those bolts. These were glassed to one fiberglass side and the space 
between the sides was filled with foam. See 
http://alberg30.org/maintenance/Steering/RudderVarieties/

On Calypso (#543) the fiberglass was ~1/8" - 3/16", as I recall.
