Rudder & Daggerboard

[Bob Donaldson]

3/2/21 – While waiting for the Dynel to be delivered, I decided to start work on the rudder and daggerboard. The first step is to draw the grid from the plans onto the rudder. Then draw in the extent of the taper.

I then planed and sanded the rudder into a foil shape.

Tomorrow I will do some final sanding and then glue up the cheeks.

3/3/21 – Today I did some additional sanding on the rudder and also sanded the daggerboard.

Traced the bevel on the daggerboard.

3/6/21 – Removed the clamps and did a rough sanding on the rudder.
