John,
The pivoting daggerboard looks wonderful and the positive stops are ingenious to prevent over-rotation. 
I haven’t had the steel lower portion made yet, as I’m now dealing with getting 3′ of the mast cut off and the mainsail resewed. I’m shooting for a test sail sometime in September.
Thanks again for the great work!

Montgomery 15 Rudder

John,

Really nice work on the rudder. I’m especially blown-away about how
good the rudder blade repair job is. If I didn’t already know the
thing was split in half down the middle, one could never tell. And
you were right, the glass work is totally transparent.

I’ll let you know how the first outing goes but with the crappy
weather here right now and new storm fronts approaching that’s likely
to be weeks away.

Best for the holidays,

Neil

John,
 
I just wanted to let you know that the rudder was beautiful.  It fit very nicely, with no problems.  My son is taking the boat out tomorrow on a local lake.  Thanks again for all your help.  You do nice work.

Salon Table

Guys, 

Just received my salon table for my 2006 Hunter 25 from John Owens..a name  that I got from this group.  I still have my 76 Bird…but you guys gotta know…if you need any wood work done…this guy is awesome.  You should see this table.  Would not have gotten him but except from the sunbird group. You guys provide so much info..not only on birds…but can apply to all boats we all own. 

Thanks so much, 

have a 25 Hunter…but love my first sailboat…76 Bird

John,

I apologize for not getting back to you earlier.  I got the board and the build quality is awesome.  I really like the  tapered foil shape you cut and the glass reinforcement. I know this board will be rock solid.

John,

I got the rudder today, and I think I died of awesomeness.  How’d you cut those leading/trailing edges so evenly?  That mahogany is going to finish beautifully.

SUNFISH DAGGERBOARD

John, finally was able to collect the sunfish board tonight.

It looks great.  Can’t wait to try it out.  Now the whole boat will look
old compared to it!
