Do not drop your rudder vertically from a height of 3 feet onto your big toe as you will fracture it, as well as split it open causing you to require stitches. Take it from me, it hurts too.
Maybe I should have titled the subject "Another dumbass move by Frank"
Oh well, I really didn't want to finish up some of the projects going on the boat so I could finally get it back in the water.
Sailing?

You fractured your rudder and split it open? I dunno, but epoxy'd probably work better'n stitchin' it together.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Frank: I believe your 89 even has the new foam-cored rudder--be glad you didn't drop the original, plywood cored, waterlogged rudder from my '85. Your piggy would've been roadkill.

Frank just needs steel-toed deck shoes.
