I am absolutely delighted. The rudder is beautiful.
I cannot imagine a nicer one – either from the view of aesthetics or
strength of design.
I regard the O’Day 25 as a very fine boat, but one of its weakest
points is the rudder as evidenced by various reports of breakage.
In my view, the rudder you made, and its high strength design,
alleviates this problem. And, it makes the boat all the more beautiful
by placing a finely crafted natural wood rudder precisely where it can
be seen as a mark of a finely maintained boat.
Thank you,
