[Rhodes22-list] Rudder Materials.

[Saroj]

I didn't even know there WERE different rudder styles.  My boat is an '84
and now I realize that it is the plastic material except for the bottom part
of the rudder that swivels up.  Don't know if that is new or old.  The boat
was refurbished in the 90's by Stan & Co.  Except for the recent problem
iwth the fiberglass creating more width and the gaps where the rope pull
holes are which permit water to get into the rudder bottom, I have no real
issues with my rudder/tiller assembly.
