The cost of some of the parts makes me wonder how much the real thing is. Anyone know what a Pico rudder blade costs for real? However, the Laser rudder stock looks like it could be adaptable to other classes, and for less than £50 seems pretty cheap.

| Back in the early 80s our minisail had a laser rudder stock. |

Did you mount a block on the deck to get the depth?
