a skeleton) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For what it is worth, those pieces of wood are not
part of a skeleton.It's been a while, but I seem to recall at least some of
those pieces were triangular in cross section. Some of mine were popping loose,
and I rebedded them with thickened up polyester resin. That's been about 15
years now-no further problems.I considered glassing over the whole mess, but
didn't because 1. the history of glass over wood is one of incompatibility
(eventually). 2. The rudder is presently removable by unscrewing bronze machine
bolts-which I probably would have covered over with glass.3. I wasn't sure of
one design status on what could be interpreted as a modification of
rudder cross section.</FONT></DIV>
