Rudder blade installation (1)

Two hours of work to attach the pintles of the false transom. The rudder lifting mechanism is not trivial and requires quite a bit of measuring.

The false transom is hinged on the (real) transom and is lifted, when approaching a beach, using a rope passing behind the false transom to the aft deck of the vaka.

The rudder blade is quite heavy though... Hope it will work!

Total work time to date: 751 hours
