I just removed the
rudder from my Tanzer 28. It is the original one which is considered by most to be a poor design. Looked very sporty in the 70's, but oh what a workout. I am going to build a new one this
winter. I plan on using some black cherry that I logged and milled here on the farm. I may inquire further about the new design and construction on a later post, but my question today to you.... This
rudder weighed at least 100lb. I couldn't
lift it into my pickup. It is 6 foot tall. Do you think it is completely water-logged? (it would be frozen solid now if it is).
