finn rudder

Post by rory pitcher »

hello every one
does anyone have the dimensions of a finn rudder please as i have recently acquired finn 254 after doing a 600 mile round trip she seems a lot heavier than i remember finns being but hai ho only needs an internal deck and rudder (plus a lot of cleaning/painting)
then should be on the water again after what appears a lengthy lay up
any sizes would help as intend to make my own as a new one just costs a lot more than i paid for the whole boat
regards rory (newbie)

Try googling Finn Class rules and you will find this:

http://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/ ... 18657].pdf

This has some stuff (thickness, weight etc), but still refers to a template that I can't find.

Must be online though. Toss up as to which will take less time. To find it online or find someone with a rudder and run a pen around it onto a piece of card for a template.

Welcome to the CVRDA, I am sure one of the big Finn boys will be along in a whle

Hi
Do you want the shape for a lifting rudder or a fixed one? Email me with your address and I'll draw around mine for you.
