After using the router on the full length of the rudder I thought it was easier to use a mould to get the right shape. Using the router on the full length, I saw some irregularities occur. We don’t want that! Luckily not to late the change strategy.

This mould would be placed over the rudder and with a longboard connected to the router, the shape could be made easier, quicker and more accurate, just by sliding it back and forth over the mould.


While using the router it is dusty and noisy so, gear up and use a mask, goggles and ear protectors.
After completing one side of the rudder or daggerboard, the mould would be used again for the other side since a made the mould to rest on the flat workbench.

after this stage, the raw shape will be sanded, filled, sanded to a smooth surface.
