Tod: I am interested. I plan on mooring Halcyon but leaving the rudder and tiller in the cockpit. Maiki ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ">Mboats<" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:48 PM Subject: M_Boats: M-17 rudder cover
Hello all, I'll be dropping Busca's rudder (the approx 6' high full-depth one) and tiller off at my favorite canvas shop tomorrow for a quote on a heavy-duty cover for it. What I envision is a heavy cover with a padded bottom (1/2" closed cell foam between layers of cloth) with a velcro "fly" on the front for gudgeon access and extending up and over the tiller too with the "fly" continuing along the underside of the rudder. The rudder will be installable/removable without removing it from the cover....just take the rudder and tiller assembly from the bed of the truck and carry it back to the transom where I unzip it's fly and mount it on the transom, then slide the cover off. With a padded bottom I can sit it down on the pavement without dinging it. If this sounds like something you'd like for your 17, drop me a note and maybe we can get a bit of a group discount. I'm sure that once he has the first pieces cut out then making a second one would be much easier.
