i will take some pictures to post.a little trickie getting the rudder up all the way.you have to pull the blade up past the fulcrum point then the gas shock takes over.i have to adjust the pull,as it is now,it takes a lot of effert to get the blade up.as of now i have the blade up all the way and the tiller tied off.with the tiller up almost a foot higher sailing while standing is a breeze.at 5'7" i cant sit and see over the coming.i practiced zig zagging through the mooring field.very few boats are moored this early in the season.the balls are there but no boats.turning radius is improved.because of the suncats shallow draft,i am moored in close to the shore,so i have a lot of boats to go through on my way out from my mooring and on the way in.i like to sail in and out,seldem us the motor.
