Wout,

is the hull design finished? If so could you publish your drawings so I can get them to a plotter? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Also, would a simple H14 rudder setup work on this?


Regarding the rudders, I had the same scenario in mind, in the interest of getting on the water quickly. (However, I'm a big advocate of NOT canabilizing old boats, especially an existing H14, even if not in "race" condition, that a kid could enjoy).

I haven't had a chance to compare the dimensions of the Hobie rudder to the Dotan 20. dotan 20
If the area is close to the same, the 11 year old girl, who currently crews with Grandpa in 16A, can probably handle the Hobie system. The other two children (a 6 y.o. girl and 8 y.o. boy) that I'd like to have sail this boat, currently sail Prams and I think they'd struggle with the Hobie rudders.

Phill eluded to a homebuild ply box and rudder here somewhere?
