Mine (1976) is made of a fibreglass shell with a metal (lead?) weight at the tip and some kind of fill inside. I found that there were a lot of large voids inside that I located by drilling holes and tapping. I filled what I could find with epoxy. It is hard to see how mine could bend without the gel coat cracking. You might remove all of the paint and look for damage. I can't think of any way to straighten the rudder. If it affects the sailing and handling of the boat you will probably need to have Stan replace it. If it doesn't affect the sailing, I would probably ignore it for a while and see what happens. Is it possible that the bolt at the pivot point is loose and holding the rudder at a bit of an angle? Graham Graham Stewart Agile.

I know the lead is there because I sanded through the gel coat and saw it - not a bright idea. I don't know of any other metal elsewhere in the rudder. Given the amount of voids in my rudder's core, I think the weight was needed to keep the rudder down. I filled all of the voids as best I could because I was concerned that water might make its way into the core and then freeze in the winter. That should also make the rudder significantly heavier - especially when submerged. I have no idea whether boats of other vintages would have similarly built rudders. Only Stan would know that.

Naturally, I assume that some lucky guy named John has negotiated with you to borrow one of your magnificent sailboats for a decade or two.? That'll put you over one hundred, I guess, huh?I am a bit confused. > > ???? Confusion is a small price to pay to see "Stan Spitzer" on my inbox listings. There is something wonderful about your coarse but knowledgeable demeanor as you engage in any process that involves your R-22.? How's the organic world going?? In any event, I believe you're gonna want to get this message to John, another Rhodie born, and I will return to enjoying my winter break and planning changes to my courses that never come to actually make it into my syllabus. Happy New Year, with all of the implied business success and happiness that comes as a part of every ano nueve.? Feel free to send me any wrong emails you please.? To you and every Rhodie you'll get this: May you only go overboard in a sea of flotation devices. > ???? Despite the poetic intentions there, I still like, "don't worry; be horny." or "stay on a starboard tack."? ttfn. > Joe Camp > > From Markwynn at Verizon.net Wed Dec 20 12:59:29 2017 From: Markwynn at Verizon.net (Mark Wynn) Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2017 12:59:29 -0500 Subject: [Rhodes22-list] IMF batten brace Message-ID: <000c01d379bc$485a5b10$d90f1130$@Verizon.net> I am missing the batten brace that is installed at the foot of the Doyle IMF mainsail, under the vertical batten, to help keep it in place. General Boats has not been responsive. Doyle does not carry them. Does anyone know of another source?

There is a tool to install the batten. I forget how it works, It works well but is not intuitive. I?ve been waiting for a response from Stan as well. ----- Alex Cole S/V Lark -- Sent from: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/
