Dang Tom, the ida sailor rudder is heavier than the mahagony? That was a surprise! My straight rudder is squared off at the bottom w/o much rounding. gilbert -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Tom Smith Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 3:46 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: Montgomery 17 rudders I figured out a good way to make pics available to you M viewers without choking you with data. When you go to the link below, you'll will see my collection of M17 rudders and a brief description of each. The '75 undershot rudder was just repaired--you can see the light colored mahagony strip that was added because of damage caused by hard grounding. www.openboatt.blogspot.com All rudders are oriented with trailing edge facing right side of photo.
