A Holiday 23,new rudder replacement supplier.

Eddie called me to see if we can make him a new Holiday 23 rudder,no bothers with this and we can make it the 150mm longer he says is working on other H23 yachts,with the Holiday 23 Worlds not far off we had better start laminating soon.

Note,the yachts designer (they sold over 200 by the way),Angelo Lavranos tells me the rudder will be fine just the way it is but we can make the blade longer if required at an extra charge.

I contacted the boats designer,Angelo Lavranos for the original rudder drawings,which show that this factory made rudder (standard ?) is not only 20mm wider than it should be but at least 50% under specification on the GRP sides,which is probably why it broke as it did?


From now on we will be offering new Holiday 23 rudders,either the standard length to fit in the slide box (cassette) or the longer length version suitable for permanent fixing on your boats transom,we can also offer a better sized and stronger 316 stainless steel set of pintals and gudgeon pins as well.
