Hello, Everyone
I am new here, looking for some advice.
The rudder on my Alcort Sunfish (year unknown) snapped on my last sail. It went clean through in the direction of the grain and needs replacing. The cheek plate and all other hardware are fine. It is just the rudder blade.

My Ronstan Rudder clips turned up today and I think they may be too big. They may get fouled between the pintle and transom. To that end, can anybody help me out with the following dimension...
Many thanks :):):):):):)
Does anybody have the dimension handy for this part of a Laser 1 Gudgeon? My Laser is parked at the boat yard and I'm not going over till next week and I need to know this dimension... Many thanks :):):):)
New to the forum and have just bought my first sailboat. An AMF Sunbird. We are getting acquainted and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy parts. The rudder is in pretty bad shape.
