This Spring I will need to remove the rudder on my 1991 C-30 MK-II (fin keel) After a bit of research, it would seem that when the boat is is the yard, there will need to be extra clearance to allow the rudder to be dropped down. In looking through posts on various forums I haven seen comments claiming a range of as little as 6 inches, to over 2 feet of of blocks being required under the keel. That's quite a range. The boat will be on concrete, so just digging a hole under the rudder is not an option, as it seems some people have done. Anyone here ever done this before?
