Rudder gantry

Been off the blog for a while but making slow progress on the boat.

The rudder gantry took some elbow grease and I made a few mistakes but the final structure seems robust and I think it looks pretty stylish.

Dry fit (the vertical line is a 3/16th inch rod used to test vertical alignment)


Happy with that I got on with some vacuum bagging.

Pretty happy with the end result, not perfect but I'm learning!


Glued in place....




Once in place I tabbed the different parts together. Should be pretty bullet proof. Feels pretty comfortable to pick the boat up by any of the parts involved.
