And where can I find templates for making rudders and keel boards?

All there is are the class rules on the web site. No real templates. Home
made is illegal for racing.

Good luck.

I hope to buy new hardware and make the actual rudder and dagger
board out of UHMW (plastic). Once I get the smaller parts (such as
the gudgeon bracket) I think I can use the actual measurements to
scale up the drawings that are on Vangarde's website. Of course, it
would be a lot easier if there were templates out there.

Anyone know how thick these boards are?

Do you have the hardware?

Hmmmmmm...., I wonder how much of a fuss Vanguard would make over "sketches"
if some were to just appear on the Net.

Can you digest any of the following: DXF, IGS, SolidWorks, ProE, CAD-Key

I have an idle CMM ...

If this is all Greek (or Geek) maybe it would be better to just have the ol'
2D diagrams available.

OBTW the answer to your original question/subject line is: 1971

Mike,

Strike that first response > OBTW the answer to your original

It should probably be 1987 for the "new" hull design.


Here's a partial list of the changes I am aware of:
(some dates may be off - corrections and additions appreciated)

60's Wood hull to Fiberglass.
60's Wood Mast and spars to Aluminum.
1967 Sail shape changed to a fuller cut.

?? Tapered mast to straight.
?? Fore mainsheet block moved forward.
?? Eye bolt on boom replaced by endcap with eye lip.

1971-72 Rounded rudder and brass hardware changed to
"new style" tapered rudder and stainless steel hardware.
70's Tapered (Shadow) Daggerboard replaces round end board.
1972 Storage compartment added.

1980 Barrington (squared) style daggerboard replaces tapered Shadow
board.
1987 Rolled gunwales and larger cockpit.
?? Racing Sail option introduced
?? Plastic rudder cheeks replace cast aluminum cheeks.

1993 Foam core, urethane coated daggerboard (22% larger).
1996 No-loop bridle.

Hey, I'm a mechanical engineer! I've digested more DXF than peanut
butter sandwiches. If you can get it, that's great. If you think
Vanguard would make a fuss, don't worry about it - I'll scale up the
2D drawings. How thick are these boards? Would 0.75" material do
the trick?

Thanks for the history lesson. Sounds like minor improvements to an
historically great boat design.
