John D,
Cathy has fixed the photo posting problem I was having. Attached is the rudder stop hardware I installed on the Far Reach. Perhaps it will be of use to you or someone else. The padeye is through bolted in to the cockpit floor via bronze carriage bolts. The other eyebolt is installed through the top of the quadrant--its in the photo. The dyneema line is not installed. The line with the blocks is 1/2 of the control line for the Cape Horn windvane.

John Stone:

Nice to see the uncluttered look of Far Reach's underside.

It looks like you could adjust the angle easily if you want by just changing the length of the dyneema line. That is a innovative solution for your installation.
Sail on
