[Public-List] Rudder shoe Hull 103

[Taft Gerry]

 Oh boy!  And in Victoria no less.  I am on Thetis.  My shoe is on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.  So I need a whole new shoe.  
I had read the link that you sent me and my take was that the shoe never changed, it was the rudder itself that changed over time.  What do you think?
I have been in touch with an Alberg owner in Ontario who might sell me his old shoe and then I would take it to Duncan Iron works to have it refurbished, unless you have another idea.  
Thank you so much for your interest and comment.
Gerry

 Sadly, I has my rudder shoe off for 2 months this year in Victoria. You
could have made a mold then.

A few thoughts:

- I think the very early boats had a different rudder shoe than the later
ones. http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/Steering/RudderVarieties/
Check before mailing molds.

- What exactly is wrong with yours? Can it be repaired? If the socket is
worn, can a bushing be made? Other repairs can be done by welding on metal,
then machining it back. I've had both done over the years.

Possibly easier, and cheaper than a one off mold.
