Comments from my customers
I am absolutely delighted. The rudder is beautiful. I cannot imagine a nicer one – either from the view of aesthetics or strength of design. I regard the O’Day 25 as a very fine boat, but one of its weakest points is the rudder as evidenced by various reports of breakage. In my view, the … Read more
Got the zuma dagger board plus rudder, and I must compliment you on the workmanship, as well as the very fast service. I am extremely satisfied with the order, and would recommend you without reservation. They’re almost too pretty to use! John Tuckahoe, N.Y.
John – just wanted to thank you for the dagger board. It was there waiting for us at the lake house and we had some great wind. It fit the boat perfectly. Thank you for the quick turnaround and for shipping it to the lake house. Best, John Hadley, N.Y.
Hi John, We just got the rudder on the boat. It looks and works great! Thanks, Chuck Canton, Maine

I just received the replacement rudder and tiller for my Holder 14. It looks beautiful and I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for the personal attention you gave to the order and how quickly it was produced and shipped. Steven Glenmont, N.Y.
John, Your design ideas for an innovative pivoting daggerboard for my Holder 14 were spot on. And the epoxy-laminated, white oak pivoting board you built for the Holder is great craftsmanship. It’s a pleasure doing business with JO Woodworks! Gary Wisconsin
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 … Read more
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. Donna Bakersfield, Ca.
