Having problems with message search?
I have managed to get a new Rudder custom made out of 4 pieces of Mahogany glued together. I still need this to be oiled and varnished over the next couple of weeks.
I also now realised that the stock on my boat has broken. It is made of Aluminium and tried to get somebody to weld this up for me. The welder merely burnt bigger holes in the aluminium because the aluminium is already well oxidised through time. They said they would get in some special aluminium rods for building up aluminium but to be honest I reckon I would rather try and get a replacement stock
Does anybody have an idea where I might be able to get a replacement stock? Is this a standard part for a Micro Cupper or perhaps any other boat? Otherwise I will just have to try and have one made from scratch.
Regards
Terry

and when I looked back I saw the rudder breaking off and floating away.
I therefore have to construct a new rudder. Preferably stronger and better
than the old one. The obvious choice is to construct it of wood as it was
before, however I am thinking of perhaps making it of glass fibre as I think
this might be stronger and lighter.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
