Ok... My project this week is to re-finish the wooden daggerboard and rudder to the laser... I'm pretty sure they are mahogany or teak... but I only know a few kindsa wood...
Anyway, the rudder has a ding on the trailing edge... at the very bottom, a chunk about 10 mm wide and about 25mm tall... I'm really not sure how to repair it... I may just fair it up so that it's not so jagged and call it good... my guess is that the rudder will no longer be legal after that because the net effect will make it 2.5 sq. cm smaller...
I'm also going to make a new tiller... after a close look at the thing, it's a straight piece... my originaly wooden tiller is cracked in the back and isnt held very well by the... the... thing that holds the tiller... Anyway, it rubs on the fiberglass in the back and has an annoying amount of play.
I'm also going to get a thick hardwood dowel to make a new tiller extension
