rudder and tiller for 21 foot Clipper Marine
- Thread starter daurayp
- Start date
I had a Clipper Marine 23 for 16 years. Had wonderful times with that boat. When the wind wasn't too weak or too strong she sailed very well.
If this is a new to you boat there are some things you should check, especially the hull to deck joint.
The way that rudder was hung on pintles on the transom, just about any rudder of a reasonable size match could be adapted to work, especially as all bolts, straps etc are above the water. Hopefully you can get a tiller along with it, if not I made one from a pick handle, carved to shape with a spokeshave.
Sometimes I miss the simplicity, and the no cost haul outs.

I purchased a kick up keel from a Cortez and it works fine. Just had to reset the lower pintel.
