Thanks for the link I didn't want to buy one because their 500$ from WWP so I might go the route of buying one,
Rudders and tillers are about the easiest projects to make for your boat - and lots of fun to show off you skills with little effort.
I Agree, i paid about $20 for the rudder blade ,and pintles about $30 i had to design everything around the blade so it would swing.
wheel barrel handle was the tiller.
really did not look all that bad when all was finished and i believe it sailed just as well as a $500 rudder.
