These things take time,thats why they cost what they do,we start with strips of selected Meranti,edge glued as two blanks,the next stage is setting out prior to CNC shaping.
Another use is found for my large stash of Hillman Imp parts,these are transaxles.
The standard rudder blade is 1.8mtrs long,the class rules allow up to 2.0mtrs long,so an extension of some 200mm,the boats designer tells me some 200 boats were built and the standard rudder is fine but he is ok with us making it up to 150mm longer.
The two laminated blanks will be offset so the joins do not line up,each face will be CNC shaped,then laminated together prior to hand glassing with biaxial cloth and epoxies.
Note,the original Holiday 23 rudder,made with GRP and foam filled broke as it was too thin on the outer faces,the new rudder should be far stronger with its wood center core and glass epoxy outer faces.
Rudders and foils for many classes of boats,or self steering paddles are possible,we can send country and world wide (30 export countries to date)
