Rudder Work






Milled the pieces for the rudder and glued them up.

The dimensions are supposed to be from 1 1/2" on the leading edge to 3/4" on the trailing edge.

I used a hand planer to mill down the pine blocking, and then a grinder and orbital sander.

The finished dimension is from 1 1/2" to 1".

I don't think this will make any significant difference in it's operation.

Waterline struck and first coat.

 Figured out how to strike the waterline with the laser level. I just didn’t have the laser level back far enough Then got the first coat done and it looks good so far.  Pettit EZPoxy Electric Sapphire blue with additive. Using roll and tip.
