rudder plans

[barnard]

I would like to find plans to make a rudder like the one shown in the "Reprint" of the 1910 OLD TOWN CANOES cataloge page 33. I have a 1938 Old Town Double End Boat I've restored and think it would be neat to add this option.

I don't know of any specific plans for an "Old Town Double End Boat rudder." The information at http://www.cedarislandcanoes.com/WCHA-Sailing/sources.html should help you get the right rudder pintles and gudgeons. There is a whole chapter on canoe rudders in "Canoe Rig - The Essence and the Art" by Todd Bradshaw. This is available from http://merchandise.wcha.org/product_info.php?cPath=92&products_id=436 in the WCHA store. You can also enlarge the image from the reprint to get the rough outline. Feel free to reply here if this doesn't answer your questions.
