Making your drop keel or rudder

This has been an addition to the CNC cutting of the normal boat kit side.

Shaping a rudder or foil by hand can be quite time consuming, so we offer a laminated timber blank CNC shaped to the correct profile every 50mm, its then an easy job to chop the excess wood out and arrive at the correct shape required.

How easy can this be, just look at the time we save you!

This is the drop keel from a Didi Mini Transat Cruise which we shipped to Australia.

Other designs are also possible.
