What is the best way to place and hold the mahogany rudder in its UP position?

In the 'up' position they are higher than the keel (centerboard up). If you believe the rudder shape isn't right look online for a NACA12 foil and make a template to confirm the shape of your boat's. Very easy to refine the shape on a nice piece of wood. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com On Tue, Jun 12, 2018, 7:14 AM Kevin Sandwick <ksandwick@hotmail.com> wrote:
Just curious, Is anybody using the Rudder Craft High Performance Kick Up Rudder on an M-17 ?
Not an inexpensive modification. Any thoughts?
Thanks
