Hello,
my Parker 31 has a replacement rudderblade. The original was broken and partly lost by the former owner during a trip to Denmark. A local shipwright made an approximate replacement in bankirai and on his return, the skipper laminated it with glassfiber cloth.
From year 1 of ownership, I have been battling with ingress of water through small cracks. In, turn the wood swells, enlarging the cracks even more and even warps the blade. It was particularly bad this year because of the extremely hot weather.
So, I'm making or -having made- a new blade. Has anyone +- exact dimensions of a Parker 31 rudder blade?
Otherwise, has anyone a blade for sale? I don't know if the 325/335 models have the same blade.
Thank you for any information,
Willie
