Hello all. After discovering I have a love for sailing, I went out and bought a Chrysler Mutineer. It was a great boat but a bit to active for my family. I then sought to find a Daysailer. I found a nice Daysailer 3 for a good price and drove 6 hours away to pick it up. When I got there, to my surprise, the guy couldn't find the rudder anywhere.
Hmmmm..... Anyways, it was a nice boat and we settled on a good price without a rudder. I now have a boat that needs a rudder. Unfortunately a new rudder costs $450-$500. It seems that Daysailer 1 and 2s have a different rudder that a Daysailer 3. Confirm? I am handy and could probably make a nice rudder if I had the proper dimensions or plans for a Daysailer 3 rudder. It seems that the size and shape are pretty important to the performance and I don't want to compromise that. Could anybody help me with plans, dimensions or a replacement rudder? Is it possible to modify a DS 1/2 rudder to fit and still get the correct performance? Thanks! It is great to have such an awesome forum with such passionate people...
