    You should add a leash to your fin to avoid losing it during "sport" maneuvers. And if you want to keep it inside but not completly down, a Shock cord around helps a lot. Cool project by the way !!!

    How are you planning to make a stronger rudder, solid wood instead of plywood, more fiberglass? Still looked like a lot of fun!

      The rudder is somewhat "sacrificial", so that it breaks instead of being so strong that it breaks the transom of the boat, which would be more difficult to repair. It was a wreck, according to the title.

      @@dansw0rkshop …I have never heard of anyone making a sacrificial rudder in my life , ply wood will do the job but it’s not for the long term as you can see , solid timber in my opinion right through to the tiller steering arm as long as it can hinge up when hitting an object not just to the Bottom of the tiller box , I’m not surprised it broke the way it did , even a solid rudder can break if the boat goes sideways to the shore , that’s life , I built a couple of boats , no way I would build a sacrificial rudder just saying it’s there to steer the vessel for a reason.

      @@fishmut Kudos for admitting it. Should the rudder should tear a hole in the transom instead of breaking? Failure modes are a thing to learn from at some point. You've heard of it now.

      The broke because it was badly trimmed for high speeds. The rudder was angled very far forward making it unstable in a sense. So I learned that at high speeds it is better to have it angled back a little giving it more tiller pressure but also more stability. To fix this i just used the same broken rudder, just sealed the top. it is shorter then before but stronger in a leverage sense. It is a little less responsive at low speeds, but better suited for high speeds.
