Do you know who it is and do you or owner have any more. About the rudder. That goes way back. Theory was you could have a narrow trunk, and the rudder could still kick-up even when turned without hitting the trunk. Later I concluded that above 10 knots the rudder would probably not be turned, and below 10 knots, the damage would be minimal. Thanks for the photo.
