In Response To: Idasailor Rudder Depth (pic) (Jim Poulakis)

Just read the rules and find my 1st messages violate them sooo here is a legal bonus message(story) that may interest some of you. About 38 years ago I was standing next to the 21st street launching ramp in New Port Beach admiring the trailerables going in. An older guy was lauching a beautiful 20 ft boat but was alone and asked me to help launch the boat as it was new and his 1st model. Of course I helped and he took me for a sail to help him tune this new boat.
The Boat was a Balboa 20 and the Launcher was Lyle Hess!!
Now I'm restoring one of his great M17s.
