I was just about to give up hope and modify a Lido 14 rudder to fit.... My plan B. I would greatly appreciate any info you could send me: Dimensions and pictures. I'm thinking that so few Rascals were made that the design did not change. Other then my hope I could not find any info about this, like with anything else with the Rascal.My Rascal's an '84 so I'm not sure if it's the same. If you find out that it is, I'd be happy to send you any info you need on it.
Yes, I already have one, and another offered up. The one I have is too small to modify, or at least seems like it would not work well if I did. And I haven't given up recovering the lost one yet - we plan on snorkeling out there this weekend, and it was shallow water - although that is an admitted long shot.
Thank you for the offer, I may be back to you for advice yet!
Hey Jill,Hi, I just picked up my first sail boat: a 1970 Rey Greene Rascal! I love it but it needs a lot of love. As it is everything is functioning but the rudder. I hope to really fix up the boat all shiny and I thought to start with the rudder. The one that came with the boat is not original… and is not savable… I plan to get one made but want to get as close to the original as possible. With very little info out on Rascals I'm hoping someone out there as one with an original rudder! Please, I need specs and pictures. I really want to do this right! Thanks!
Well,So little to ask in return!
I figure I don't need to duplicate yours, just get to something that matches in functionality. That said, taper never even occurred to me.
And this gives me another chance to scout for my lost one this weekend. I'm renting tanks and getting serious, dammit.
Thank you for the help. Enjoy the fly fishing on the lake, sounds great!
Michael,Electro,
Your boat sounds exactly like mine. Is yours a Spindrift OneDesigns, or a Ray Greene? Mine looks like the only thing it's missing is a Mellow Yellow logo.
