Hi guys the weather conditions this weekend were GREAT!! lots of winds and sunny/warm
Well apparently my old old rudder style decided to give up on me in the middle of the lake, literally a full left or right tiller was just to keep the rudder straight!!!!
Long story short thanks to fellow club members they towed me , first with another sunfish (lots of fun) later with a motor boat
watch the towing!!!
Ok now the tricky part im not overly concern with with full legality , but i do want to keep some resemblance, basically the 2 metal strips that go from tiller to rudder began to be very soft and maleable (easy to bend) is there any cheap and easy to find alternative to replace them???
i know the correct thing would be to upgrade to new style rudder but honestly for 200dls i prefer to pick up an old hull and fix it
any advice is appreciated
