Hi Eric,

I just called Joel at IdaSailor and told him what I wanted. He was very willing to accomodate - a real great guy to work with.

The latest rudder I have from them is a replacement of an earlier version of their Unifoil design that I had. I made some mods to it (replaced the blade with one of my own), and then ended up damaging the rudder post during a cruise. I sent the post to Joel for repair, and he decided that it was not repairable after all and gave me a very generous credit towards the current rudder, which has a much sturdier post. Like I said - very helpful guy!

Craig

It sounds like that 1 piece is better than two (kickup) for handling -- Eric, P-19 and Zuma, Austin,TX -- 11/5/09 3:21p.m.
