Try your local privately owned engineering machine shop.
They may beable to supply you with some DELRIN (plastic) washers and SS shims. 
Never enough time for sailing

whats wrong with cutting the back edge of  the rudder blade? With the rudder shaft being taped, it seams the only way to get a better fit and remove play. When i spoke to Brian he said they all had this problem of touching. Having just anti fouled it will copper coat i do want to trash it again. 

The shims at the top of the shaft are worn funny, any idea where to get these?

Hi Miles,
 
It isn't particularly easy unless you have the right tools, and it has to be milled from a suitable plastic that is hard but doesn't absorb too much water. I may be wrong but I think they were all slightly different in size, so you really need to find a tame engineer! It is more likely that you need to put shims in to stop the top of the blade fouling on the hull - don't cut bits off the rudder, you will regret doing it...

Have been getting Fuzzy logic ready for the summer, copper coated the hull, and have a few electronic toys to fit too. The rudder has a little bit of play, i have read a few of the posts about it - how easy is it to do yourself? I have already dropped the rudder out to paint the hull, and have seen it rubs on full lock. How its the best way to sort this out? cutting off a section of the rudder?

cheers miles

Hi Craig,
 
Sorry not to have responded before - we've been away. We will be at Kip, Scottish Series and IRC Scottish Championship.
 
I have written to your email address.

Chic,
 
I was speaking to Duncan at Kip today and I gather you'll be across for Kip Regatta on 14th/15th?
 
When are you thinking of bringing the boat across?

Hi Miles
We have a projection "Filthy Gorgeous" at Pwllheli. (Very shiny bottom despite the rumours). We do all the club racing at PSC (see below) and you would always be welcome. Let us know when you are turning out in Abersoch and we might take up the challenge. My boating partner might do keelboat week but unfortunately taking a week off in the school holidays and heading off sailing is more than my marriage would bear.

Howdy guys,

I have bought "Upstart" and have named it "Fuzzy Logic" and will be sailing down at Abersoch, North wales.

Any other projections fancy doing Abersoch Keelboat Week this year?

Andy does that mean we won't be seeing you in Scotland this year? I know you've previously done the Savills Kip Regatta and Brewin Dolphin Scottish Series.
