New
Rudders Arrive
Racing cat
designer/builder Matt McDonald, was brought in to design and build new rudders
capable of withstanding the high lateral loads we've been experiencing as we
approach 25 knots. We can't wait to get back on the water!
Motive 25R
builder, Ted Warren, checks the new wider gudgeon/pintle spacing, which takes
advantage of the full height of the transom. The old transom gudgeon/pintles can
be seen inboard of the new ones. The new system will use a single, full length
rod pintle to further maximize strength.
Center
Board Beefed Up
Likewise,
the CB was redesigned to withstand higher loads by incorporating custom laid
carbon tubing, which will create a triple web structure running the full length
of of the CB.
The new
Center Board in-build at Warren Light Craft.
