Hi Mal, Can you also send me the details of the supports - its exacly what I've been looking for, as I've always been worried about supporting the boat when taken out of the water.

Hi Roger, Took the rudder blade off today & inspected everything properly. The bottom bearing is just as you described on your boat - looks like a missing bush. With the boat in the water it is quite difficult to accuratly measure up. I don't suppose you haev the measurements of the bush you had...

The plate is certainly there & I think seculy attatched to the hull. I could only inspect it by leaning over the back of the boat & there is quite a lot of growth on the bottom of the rudder plate. I think the play is where the rudder shaft enters the plate. Next weekend I'll probably take t...

Another sailing video

This may not be the most exciting from a sailing point of view - but was certainly one of the most memorable times I've had sailing - happened sailing from Dartmouth to Poole on 13th August this year
