Transpac52 Emergency Rudder


Please take a moment to read about Standard Finishes and Options, and How to Order.

Design: TP52R  
Emergency Rudder

This design came from a customer that needed an emergency rudder in order to pass pre-race inspection for the Transpac.

The rudder itself is a foam and cedar core with several laminations of carbon fiber over it.   The daggerboard style case has lots of carbon fiber reinforcement, and hangs off of a modified backstay tang on the transom.   The reverse tiller uses lines to the corners of the transom for steering.

Feedback:

Phil,
Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks........

based on some awful 'back-of-the-napkin' drawings, you did a knockout job in
a very tight timespan!

Thank you!


The bad news: if everything goes well for the boys on their way to
Hawaii......your 'work' will NEVER see the light of day!?!? (One of those
'mixed blessing' kinda things!)

Cheers!
Tom
