by Jesper for everyone
Alec has not been able to join Ballad Exchange for some reason. He has lost his gudgeon, the brace holding the rudder, at the buttom of the skeg. Would someone please measure this brace (or gudgeon) now when you all have your boats on land. My own is still in the water. A couple of pictures would be wonderfull too.
 
Thanks on beforehand, from Jesper Milling.

Jesper,
I replaced that same piece on my boat when I bought it. It was made of stainless steel and had crevice corrosion at the welds. A boatyard fabricated a new one for me out of a short piece of pipe with two flat plates welded to it. I think the important dimensions can be taken off the skeg where it attaches and the rudder post that goes into it. I check mine carefully now, at every haul out.
