Rudder Design

Hi Benson - I have rudder that was to have been from a 1967 Old Town sail canoe. However, the mounting uses the Wahoo style. Was this style used in other wooden canoes? See attached....
thanks & have a great day

Yes, as shown in the links below from a 1968 example. The classified archive at https://wcha.org/classified-archive/Old-Town-Molitor-17-68-9-28-22.pdf has more details.

1968 Molitor Sailing Canoe

All original. Used very little. Typical small scratches in the black paint but wouldn’t stop me from buying this. Sail rig was NEVER used! Canoe stored last 30 years! Listed on FB Fans of WCHA. $4000. Super original Molitor!
