Nordica 16 Chimney Lake
N16 just bought, spent last 10 years under tarps. Previous owner (PO) says tiller rotted. Provided a beautifully made tiller handle 2 1/2 times thicker than the rudder and 2 aluminum plates intended to bolt through both to marry them up. I'd like to be able to lift the tiller when needed. Any ideas welcome. Anyone got photos of original Nordica setup?
