Leeboard

I think John said this was a rudder blade from a 420 "or something".

I made a handle for it out of two pieces of quarter inch ply with an aluminum core, cut a slice out of the top of the blade, and inserted the metal of the handle into it. I had drilled holes in the aluminum, making epoxy "rivets" to better grab the aluminum.

I know, it looks backwards, but the leading edge, other side from the handle, is the fat part of the NACA foil.

Aft is to the left.

The little piece of quarter inch ply on the deck indicates where the slot board will be.
