: How many Fireballs are not sailing
: because of missing/broken
: centreboards or rudders?
: Thanks to mother nature, I think I
: can source both, into the low double
: digits. They're for Albacores, so
: the centreboards will have to be
: trimmed I think, but the rudders
: should work in a pinch. I'll make
: some measurements tonight to see how
: close the centreboards will be.
:
Just a note that rudder shapes for the FIreball are entirely open, so an Albacore rudder can be used, as long as the thickness at the waterline meets the thickness requirement and the weight of the rudder assembly meets the minimum amount. Centreboards must conform to the class rules, for both shape/profile and weight.
