Rudders______________________________
All yachts are fitted with a partial skeg hung, semi-balanced rudder. It consists of
a long stainless steel stock passing through the hull. A stainless steel stiffening plate
is welded to the stock and a
GRP
rudder is moulded over the stock and plate. For
wheel operation, a steering quadrant is fitted to the stock within the hull area. All
craft use 'O' rings in polyacetal tubes which are fitted inside GRP tubes.
