Max, Here are the rough dimensions for the rudder I have. It's from a '73 and I'm pretty sure it's stock (other than the bent post)
Top of rudder from leading edge to the leading edge of the post: 4" Top of rudder from trailing edge to the trailing edge of the post: 10.25" Max cord (measured much the same way as a genoa is measured, i.e.: longest perpendicular from the trailing edge to the leading edge: 22.5" Height (measured with the top of the rudder parallel to ground): 39.75" Leading edge length (measured with the "line" of the leading edge and the "line" of the bottom both extended till they cross): 29.5" Bottom of rudder (measured as above): 26.5" Trailing edge length: 40.25" If I haven't confused you enough or you have further questions, feel free to email me off list [email protected] Mark Gratis (6115), NOLA Want to keep your WHOLE PAYCHECK?
