It would be hard to walk away from the old tanzer you looked at.. considering when I was looking for a few parts for mine you could easily make a few $$ just selling off the pieces. As I started researching how to build my rudder (with no good info available thus this blog post) I did find a few articles about repairing hulls etc... would be a fun project to resurrect the $250 boat. I did many other repairs (rails, keel etc) and I quite enjoyed being covered in fibreglass, epoxy and paint for a few weeks. I may someday put up a blog on some of the other work I have done on mine.Da Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901694131078120563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166857565524883362.post-33470182107476020122013-09-05T13:04:12.717-03:002013-09-05T13:04:12.717-03:00Hi Darryl, Great work on the new rudder.

What a coincidence - we have a Tanzer 16 too and were driving back through your part of New Brunswick on our way back to Ontario on the very week you posted this. Btw there is an ad on kijiji in Ontario for a guy selling a rough but complete Tanzer 16 in Meaford Ontario for $250. I went to look at it and made an offer on all the bits (mast, boom, sails, rudder, centreboard etc) without the hull but he only wants the whole thing gone. I don't really NEED anything so I didn't bite but who knows, I may change my mind. Take care, Phil Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679977056547979868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166857565524883362.post-54883709213435389612013-08-21T16:12:02.906-03:002013-08-21T16:12:02.906-03:00Paul - I scoured the earth to find 3/8 diam pintle...Paul - I scoured the earth to find 3/8 diam pintles with a hole for a retainer.. but could not locate any (actually 3/8" pintles are a rare breed themselves) - so as soon as I get access to a good drill press, I will have a retaining hole in mine as well.
