Are you going to have enough room for a prop with reasonable tip clearance?
Looks like even after you put a cutout in the rudder it may be close.

according to my old drawing there should be around 10 cm clearance on the "boat-side" i will check again since it seems a bit close. I also think the rudder seems a little small.

Something doesn’t look right with the drawing...If that tip clearance (top) represents 10cm then that prop dia is around 70cm.
Is there enough shaft between the prop and cutlass to put an anode?
Also the cut-out in the rudder doesn’t look deep enough....seems like if the rudder is turned it may contact the prop.
The rudder does look a little small, but I really have nothing to base it on but the looks.
It all looks tight.

yes. will doublecheck on the boat. the prop is 62 cm in diameter. i can just install and have a look inclusive cutout of the template rudder.
10 cm tip-clearance should be enough i think.

Merry Christmas, Zeyang. We've enjoyed your commentary and photos. We'll have to plan a cyber-party for when you splash your boat!

All the best in 2010!

been busy flipping the boat and welding up the seams. the welding part was 83 hours and probably more than 150 hours brushing. got some help thankfully.
