Pop Up rudder
I am a new to this site and would like to pose a question. I own a wooden 1965 Rhodes Bantam sailboat hull # 1316. The Bantam is a 14 Ft. day sailor with a mahogany veneer plywood hull, with spruce and mahogany trim.
Recently I towed my boat to Nags Head NC and sailed in the near by sounds. The sailing was awesome but the sounds were very shallow. My centerboard is easy to raise and lower however I have the original fixed wooden rudder and tiller. The rudder mounts to the transom in the conventional manner using two Pintles and Gudgeons. Does anyone know of a way to convert this to a Pop Up rudder? Or would making a new rudder be easier? I have checked around and it appears you cannot buy a Pop Up rudder already made for the Bantam.
I am open to any and all suggestions.
