Oh oh...

All has been going so smoothly, that it should have been no surprise that something would go wrong. John had a crew lined up to race the Figawi Memorial Day weekend. We had paid the money, and made plans to make team tshirts, when the call came from the boat yard. "Your rudder was full of gallons of sea water and needs to be replaced." UGG. Its not easy to find a 1988 Pearson rudder that no one is using. The only solution is to get a mold made of the old one and re-create it. Obviously this will not be done in the week we have left until the Figawi. Sad. On the other hand though, better to find this out now, than when we're sailing down the coast!
