Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
Yeah I forgot to mention Intensity sails parts are not class race legal, as I always sailed for fun not competition, so it is a lower price way of fixing up an old fish for the fun sailor, and is of

Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
The cracked/split rudder is common and not too hard to fix. As far as making a new one, why not? As with the Intensity Sails blades (and sails) they are great unless you are planning to race in

Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
I made a rudder, tiller, and dagger out of red oak I got from Lowe's, glassed over with thin light weight cloth and epoxy resin, but red oak is not the best choice of wood, if you can find white oak,

Re: Should I DIY a homemade rudder blade?
Hi Ben
Congrats on the boat. Lots of folks have done that, kind of a rite of passage. I've seen them made from plywood and mahogany. A couple of coats of marine grade varnish help protect the wood.

Re: How do I replace aluminum trim on a Sunfish?
Getting the proper rivets is worth it: too long, and they go all the way thru and leave a jagged, finger-slashing protrusion underneath. While the trim's off is the time to check the integrity of
