I've been on about making it since I started the blog but I finally got the rudder glued up today. Its through bolted with M12 galvanised rods and glued with epoxy. I would have prefered to use the resorcinol but I would have to order more especially and I happen to have the epoxy for another little project in the pipeline.
I've also glued up some iroko pieces to make the mast chocks from. I wanted to make them this way so that when the mast is wedged it won't split them along the grain.

| This band is riveted through the rudder and were pretty tough to drive out |

| Improvising because of a clamp shortage, This one is for the mizzen mast |
 |
| And of course it had to be polished up despite the fact it will be anti-fouled in a weeks time |
