Why, Why, Why!!!!!!

Argh.. Yeah. After only 1 year, the bales on the shock cord have scratched the crap out of the anodizing allready.

Hmm and this weekend I completely forgor to put on the downhull (Didn't even have the gooseneck in the track. I made it all the way out to the ocean before I noticed it. Didn't do too bad tacking out of channel either... The Tiger in front of me wasn't going a whole lot faster then I. So now I have a scratched mast from the gooseneck too

Bill Jeffers has the rudder drilling jig. His wife's old 16 had the perfect helm, so he's saved the old rudders (they're original EPO's) and uses them as a template along with a jig on a drill press to drill rudders.

I think every serious racer in the northeast has had Billy drill their 16 rudders. It's worth every penny of the $20 he charges for the service. They come out perfect every time.
