I have a Fairwinds 27. Does anyone know how long the rudder should extend beyond the swing point. I think the previous owner cut it short. Thanks for any...
Bob: I do not have specific information about the Fairwinds' Rudder, but the length of a Tradewinds' rudder below the pivot point is 62". The Fairwinds has an...
Joanie and all: 62(5 foot 2 inches) inches seems a tad long. Maybe the total height from the bottom to the point where the tiller fits in the cheeks. I'll ...
Bob : It is my understanding the Fairwinds and Tradewinds used the same LOWER rudder. I should be able to get you the measurement in the morning. Mike of About...
Mike and Bob (and all): My mistake! "62" is actually the "Part Number" from the Luger blueprints. In my haste I did not "decipher" the blueprints correctly....
Good morning: I just measured the rudder blade for About Time. Its 36 1/2 from the bottom to the pivot bolt hole and 39 1/2 overall. The joys of owner...

Howdie all, I've had my lil Luger for almost 15 years now. The original Holzclaw trailer is showing it years and miles. Last spring I spent several tense...
Hi Tim, suggest offloading boat from trailer. Take to local welding shop, but stay away from boat dealer's. I am one and know how to take you to the cleaners...
hey thanx for the reply, I've thought about that but I'm not happy with the design of the trailer at all and would like something a bit more substantial. I...
Try to find a small blacksmith/welder and let him have a go at repairing what you have. I've been lucky enough to find such a shop and he's saved me a lot of...
After receiving some great posts here this is my refitting decision. In line with my wanting to be able to sail solo. New mast baseplate (old one deteriorated)...
Ya might want to re-think the minkota with only 30lb thrust. I used one on my sebreeze and it did OK without wind. Last year I upgraded to a minkota with 55...
Lou: Being around the marina when no one else is there is an almost guarantee you would be able to sail in perfect every time. Only when there are onlookers do...
Hey Michael, Thanks for the positive view !!! Would be nice to sail her in every time. Have done it before, but this maneuver is not along side the dock....
