[Rhodes22-list] Rory and other new boat owners re rudder

[stan]

of course the red rudder line was meant to be on the bow side of the turning 
bar, not behind it.

the turning bar was meant to be mounted to the bottom of the rudder head so 
that the down blade comes to stop by meeting the filler spacer between the 
rudder cheeks and not by hitting against this little turning bar and using 
this bar as its downside stop.   It apparently had been mounted too far aft. 
You can get the red downhaul line to do what it was intended to do by having 
an angle on the bottom side of the rudder cheeks spacer piece so the angle 
allows the double line to be fed forward and around the bow side of the 
turning bar before its two ends turn back to terminate in the two holes on 
the leading edge of the rudder blade.
