: Hewy Steve,

: I hope the atached photo helps. I found it helpful to build teh skeg blade
: first, then build the box around it. When the box is half-built (not yet
: enclosed), it is easy to test the mechanics.

: I glassed the blade, but that probably isn;t necessary.

: John

Thanks John
And in metric too. That's excellent.

Regards
Steve
