Rudder #2

Materials for the new cassette ready and waiting for tomorrow when the rudder will be ready to start using as a mould for the new sleeve for the cassette.

The rudder is past the hard bits, let the glass/epoxy cure give it a sand/fair/sand/fair/paint/sand/ top coat------easy.
I hate to say it but someone (no naming names) once said they enjoyed the fairing process and I called them crazy--well I've obviously been doing way too much of it because I am now enjoying it!!!!!!! maybe I understand it and find it easier than I did>?

As per usual some may think I'm building in turbo mode. I have two big incentives to get the boat complete again.
1) We are moving house next Wednesday which means I wont have access to my tools for a few weeks (long story).
2) We have to be back in the water (with a test sail thrown in there) by 22 January to race in the Surf to City with and against Tokyo Trash Baby.
