[Rhodes22-list] Curved Rudder | 84 Rhodes 22

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Hi Bob,

OK, now I see what you mean.  Is that much misalignment noticeable under sail?   Is the tiller position different to go straight ahead on port tack vs starboard tack?

Anyway, I don’t think there is any way to fix that rudder blade.  So, you did the right thing to replace it.
