Agree with Dennis about the importance of carrying on the brand, and also with quality designs. The worst outcome with a storied brand is to have it diluted by a series of takeovers leading to the production of lower and lower quality boats.

Lots of us have rudders that are less than perfectly water tight. Many people either drill a hole in the bottom so it can drain, and patch it every spring, or install a permanent drain plug. The main worry is to not let the water freeze in there. There is a C&C 38 at a marina here that was dis
