(shenanigans) Judging from comments, and photo's posted on Trailer Sailor, I think I am safe in assuming that the rudders on the 20's and 24's are the same size. That being the case, and since Waltzing Matilda's rudder is currently standing in the corner collecting dust, I will be happy to trace you off a template and mail it to you. Just email me your address @ jmb1933@bellsouth.net. As to a new rudder, I would think you could easily fabricate one from a sheet of 3/4" marine plywood, and recommend making it at least three layers thick.
