Paul Calypso has done a really fantastic job. Being a true perfectionist he tried for the perfect fit and missed by millimetres. Today (Friday) should see the final fitting then tomorrow with a bit of luck the new rudder will be on. Ooh, suits you sir, suits you.

One discovered problem is both skegs were bonded on just slightly off vertical. I can't find it in my heart to blame John the GRP for this, Trouters was balanced on four oil drums, probably on an uneven surface anyway and under the circumstances he did a good job. I haven't been able to track down the mystery leak, although drying out every day I have been able to empty the keel.

Hey ho, some pictures soon.
