A while back a skipper needed pix close-up of an in-place rudder. Looking through old shots I find a few up-close details of rudder, skeg, "notches", etc. They could be reproduced and sent. For that matter, I have two dozen or more pix from haul outs for bottom painting, original launch, etc. that show underwater lines & detail well. However, I suspect that's fairly common in the Sxx world. I don't fully know how the lines on my S25 compare to other Sxx.x lines, although I was assuming similarities. Also, does anyone have wood parts for an S25 tiller? Esp the spacer blox at the base of the tiller? Don't need metal parts. My spacers have shrunk with years and the screw holes are shot as well. In short, a lot of slop in the tiller. Nylong spacers and larger screws fix didn't last. If necessary I can make a pattern and make new spacers, but readily available spacers would take less time for now, and replacements could be made at more leisure. Probably others have made these; suggestions on wood and finish? A spare tiller could be nice, if someone has one they want to part with--viz., the long skinny laminated piece of the tiller, as opposed to the spacers. The S25 that sold up in NE got away before I could get anything, and the boatyard said the helm was one of the first things to go. Thanks much, Doug LaVerne S25 #33 "Aisling" 1978 Concord Yacht Club, TN Seidelmanns _are_ fast; while we fought it out for last place in Rocky Top Regatta last spring due to crew inexperienced with each other plus technical glitches, but came back to challenge first and finish well ahead of third in CYC Club Championship in the fall. Having a CT Yankee as crew chief didn't hurt.
