Tom B, What did the rudder weigh? Type and density of woods (different types of mahogany over the years) affect the weight and ultimate strength - my last wood rudder was little better than bad pallet lumber and warped in a few months (stored indoors) Inquiring minds... That is why 'we' built a plastic one. No warping and mucho control over strength,weight and shape! Thanks GO M-17t sail # 354 'Tiny Purple Fishes' In a message dated 10/21/2015 4:58:55 P.M.

I have a 74 - plain wooden rudder, painted, two pintles, no sliding rod gizmo. I can weight it if you want - I assume the rudder was pretty much the same from 74 to 77?
cheers, John S.

Does anybody know how heavy the stock wooden rudder was on 17 Montgomerys built in 1977?
