E35 tiller and rudder

[gareth harris]

I need to replace the rudder, which was damaged, the tiller, which has apparently been lost or stolen, and the connection between the two which has apparently been lost or stolen.

Are there any tiller boat owners who can take measurements for me?

Can anyone recommend a source for the hardware to connect the tiller to the rudder? Most likely it will be to a Foss Foam rudder which has long been recommended on here, although I will take any other recommendations going.

IIRC, there is a sailboat "recycling" yard in Washington and another on the East Coast. if you want to source an OEM rudder and post for a reasonable price that might be a good starting point. Someone here may have contact info.
Otherwise, I recall that there are E-35-2 site members that have bought a new rudder and post assembly from Foss or a competitor. That solution also gives you the better-performing Schumacher rudder profile, too.
