You really don't need a kick-up rudder, making them is difficult and making them strong enough is something that even the pros often fail at (when the rudder blade is kicked up, the load on the upper section is tremendous). You could make the whole thing out of 1" plywood, cutting a chamfer around the immersed edges & then sanding it to a slightly rounded section. Actually 3/4" would probably be strong enough. Replacing deck beams sounds like a bit of a job. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
