Hello,
So believe it or not but I found a Phantom 14 hull in the a trash pile outside of someone's house and of course I was inclined to take it home. The hull was in pretty decent shape and I went to my local sailor supply store and they luckily had a phantom sail and spars stashed up in the attic that I got for a steal along with a Hobie Cat rudder that I managed to make work in the mean time and a sunfish mast. I made a daggerboard in a night and was ready to sail! The Hobie rudder is a pain in the @$$ to install and uninstall and just doesn't feel completely right. I have been looking everywhere for a rudder and nothing has come up and i noticed on this forum there is a lot of people looking for a Phantom rudder, so i guess i'm another one. I have been talking to Rudder Craft and they might be able to make me one. As soon as I find out and they give me a price I'll share it on here so if anyone is looking for one in the future they will no where to go.
So, Anyone have a spare rudder? I would rather have an original!
Thanks for any advice.
Marty
