<p>Remember that Wharrams with their narrow hulls heel more so all that rudder may well be used at times. One drawback of shallow draught is shallow / small rudders. I would not reduce a rudder in size.</p>

<p><font size="2">It's impossible for </font>anyone<font size="2"> to asses the condition of your ruders by just looking at the pics. From what i can see is all fine. Why do you want to change them? I think I remember the top, expose above the WL, should have a hole in the outer corner to thread a line in and steer, should the tillers broke off. What acheivevment do you get by trimming them?</font></p>

<p>I agree on the new rudders, but I'm not in a good place to build. Once I get back to Florida I'll be able to make some new ones. These rudders are straight wood and paint, not good! The best I could do quickly is wrap with light glass and hope for some water proofing. The bigger fish to fry is my mast project and the rigging attachment points on the hull. Going from ketch to sloop. If anyone could supply that info it would be a big help. I have plans for a cutter rig showing 1.5ft forward of…</p>

Going from ketch to sloop. If anyone could supply that info it would be a big help. I have plans for a cutter rig showing 1.5ft forward of center. Would the bermuda go just aft of beam 2? I'm hoping to tripod the mast with a 7/8 forestay Once that is solved and bunch of small stuff, I can launch. Great now I've turned my rudder post into a mast placement post. </p> Hi Herb, IMHO you should cons…tag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2013-06-24:2195841:Comment:1024812013-06-24T00:20:32.825Zmarchttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/marc
<p>Hi Herb, IMHO you should consider offering two new rudders for your Tang.</p>
