Victoria 18 rudder
Just acquired a Victoria 18 and found that bottom of rudder is not attached to hull. Seems to be a pin or bolt missing but don't know where to find one or how it goes on to rudder. Anyone know about this boat and where to get info? Thanks.

Post some close up pics of these areas. You should have gudgeons and pintles for the skeg and rudder respectively. Something like this...
You may need to build your own rudder. The search terms you will need are "skeg hung rudder" and then try "design" or "specs". I'd do a google image search if it were me and when I see something close, click on that link.
For example, I found this rather quickly
Good luck.

Welcome to SBO. The fastest resolution to your dilemma might be to find the previous owner of the trailer that the boat is parked on because it looks like someone may have started to take parts off of the boat to repair them. I notice that your starboard winch is also missing have you looked inside? I know this may seem as a spurious question but I ask only because I don't notice a ladder in the picture and your perfect placement in your picture of the power post. Besides a rudder you may also need a rudder shaft and tiller. Because of the apparent age of the design you are not likely to find parts that you can order off the Internet and will likely have to create your own.
