: Hi Jack,
: I have considered Vaclav's ruddder but I don't want to spend the time

: commercial rudder that has solid foot braces.

: Right now all I am concerned about is what I should be doing to get ready for
: a future rudder while the hull and deck are still apart.
Larry,

I thought you might consider Vaclav's composite bracket with a commercial rudder. I just like the way his bracket looks. Not sure how strong it is.

I'm also not sure how most aftermarket rudders attach but the stern of the RBA isn't vertical so I assume that you would have to attach a horizontal bracket to the deck.

Regards,

Jack
