The GP 14 style rudder stock - can I put my name down for that please?
I'm sure that we'll hook up soon - either the show or Bristol Avon (I'm just thinking of causing total chaos by trying to sail the NLC on the River - that would give supercrew Jon something to think about!!)

Cheers and many thanks

Hi David,

Sorry, another David has already PM'd me about the GP14 stock. If once he has seen a photo he isn't interested after all, I'll let you know.

David I may have a gp14 stock (wooden one) and rudder.

[davidh]

Roger...thanks - but I was after one of the alloy spoked ones!

I'll need a BIG rudder on the New Lost Class.....BIG I tell you, BIG!

By the way Rupert, tehre are now 3 Minisails on fleabay - have you been breeding little GRP boats from your wooden one?

Cheers

David (Henshall) - David has decided that the stock is too long for his needs, so it is all yours if you want it. email with pics sent to the bearface account.

Rupert,

great news - I'll go and have a peek!

I know that this is in the wrong 'stream' butr as we are on the subject of rudders....will I get away with a fixed rudder on the Merlin at Bristol Avon? This could have a big bearing on what I do with the ridder you from you!

Cheers

I used to have a fixed Firefly rudder there, but that is only about 600 mm under the water. A very long Merlin blade could be a problem.

I'd have thought this stock would be too long for a Merlin transom?

[davidh]

ahaahahahah Rupert - that would be the mistake of assuming that the stock is for a Merlin.....

Thanks anyway - will start a new thread about Bristol.

Hi Rupert,
I got your reply to my email about the Europe rudder stock then put 2 and 2 together and realised that you were the same Rupert I had read posts from on these forums. Anyway, I am definitely interested and I am not far away in West Oxfordshire so it should be possible for me to come across to Purton to view/ collect sometime in the not too distant...Let me know when it would be convenient for you and we can work something out. I am away at Rutland this coming weekend, but apart from that nothing major planned.
Regards.
