Starfish Rudder

This is a custom made Starfish style rudder blade with feathered edges for improved hydrodynamic flow. To prevent splitting on impact, I glue in 1/4″ dowel pins on the leading edge.
Rudder fits Starfish and several other similar sailboats. It measures 8″ x 24″ x 3/4″ and the one shown is made of “edge-locked” cypress which is very stable but my standard now is mahogany but cypress is still available on request for the same price.
Blade is finished with 3 coats of Interlux Marine Spar Varnish. Other finishes available on request.
This is “blade only”—No hardware.
