[Rhodes22-list] Keel/CB painting

[Steve Alm]

Bill,

It's not going to happen--at least not this year.  I'd have to pull the  
trailer out and turn a sharp angel because the garage is close.  (see  
picture and note garage and telephone pole inches from the port rail)   
I think getting it out and then back under would be a royal PITA.   
Remember, with duel axles, the trailer, even empty,  doesn't turn very  
easily.  But maybe I'm missing something.  Is it worth the trouble?    
What's your procedure?  If I could get the trailer ahead enough to  
block up the aft end of the keel, would the boat still balance?   
Wouldn't it still be bow-heavy?  How do you support the bow whilst  
pulling the trailer out?  Do tell!

But today was finally in the 60's and I finished my bottom job, such as  
it is.  The last thing I did was to put some bottom paint on the rudder  
and top side paint on the rudder housing.  We also got a new tiller so  
the whole thing looks pretty nice.  But I have a question:  What are  
the rudder housing and the rudder itself made of?  Jeez, they're heavy!

Slim, ready to launch--maybe Sat.
