  2. svein erik
    hi... wel... i mad the rudder from photo because there is not a plan for this , after i finish it i was in contakt with chip calamoaro from Arizona the wood on the rudder is a little to short , i can see in the bad poto that this is fastend to the stem and used to secure the rudder when the ship was buidt. so i can do it ether way yust for the detajl , i only have to make the wood longer so it can be fixt to the stem or re make it with out this detajl . i yust find a photo of this to . svein erik
