need Handy Cat rudder specs

Post by jwick251 »

We have a 14' Handy Cat with a missing rudder. I'd love to find a good used one (!) but looks like I'll be trying to fashion one with the help of a friend. Can you measure your Handy Cat rudder and send me the measurements? Or does someone have the specs from the original design? And/or tips on how to build a replacement? My boat is fiberglas, from 1970. Thanks a million.

Stroudwater Boatworks in Falmouth, Me. has two used handy cats for sale - perhaps you could visit and take measurements,
if they will allow. Or, maybe they have a drawing they would allow you to copy. They used to build handy cats from the
Cape Dory molds. Maybe they still do. Maybe you could even buy a rudder from them. - Jean
