Rudder

[David Satter]

Looking for a rudder or at least a photo of the correct one. 1976 Old town 18 foot Guide sailing canoe . here's a photo of the gudgeon I have to work with. Any help would be great. Dave

Here are a couple of photos of one I have in the classifieds. Looks like a regular Old Town wooden rudder.

These would be fitted with either wooden rudders like the one at http://www.lax-sailing.org/forsale/Wahoo sailing canoe_B.Johnson_8July2011.pdf and in Craig's pictures or aluminum ones as shown at http://forums.wcha.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=1555&d=1149194189 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9upBgS4a4Lw in a video. I don't know of anyone who has reproduced the pintle fittings so you will probably have to improvise. Let us know what you decide to do,
