I have a 1974 C&C 39, hull #60. By 'rudder port', do you mean a metal fitting of some kind where the rudder shaft enters the hull? I have an updated high aspect ratio rudder. I have no skeg. I have no port, and there is no bearing in the rudder shaft - it is basically just a hollow fibreglas

I am new to the mailing list and I am not sure of all the protocalls.  I have a '71 C&C 39 (Windquest) and the rudder port is leaking and there is a bit of play where the rudder post enters the hull.  Are there drawings available of the rudder port?  Has anyone had one apart.  The boat is unique
