    Rudder.

    Hey Guys, I am off tomorrow to grab this to see if I can make it work, For when Soulmate comes out of the water. Harrytom has very kindly offered his help which will be gratefully accepted when the time comes. But what have here I have to eventually make it look like that first picture. Unless someone has a Cav 26 that they are wrecking haha Thanks for the comments and I am learning heaps guys cheers Steve
  2. HI guys, Yep I hear you load and clear. He is the thing haha. As you may have noticed that I potentially have an rudder issue ? (Rudder , Tech Talk) this will need to be sorted for my piece of mind. Also with the interior. I bought Soulmate so my partner and I can jump on her and sail to little bays and hold up for the night and chill. At the moment how the layout is its not gonna work for us we cant fit on whats there. The big 3 for us . Sleeping , having a table and somewhere to sit that is comfy. And people feel comfy is important to me and my gal. Yeah we could go on day trip
  3. I can confirm. No. No drinking water unless you get it from the 4 Square. No water tap on the wharf. But saw this lovely old girl flying French flag.

    Yeah definitely want it to look good. There was a rudder on trade me that had all the seals and bearings on it for 280 odd. So maybe?? But going as you say do up a new transom style. will post pictures up when she comes out. cheers mate Steve

    Yeah I reckon to Sabre, I guess all will be revealed when she comes out of the water. I will see what I am up against. Make the call from there. Most likely the easiest thing to do will be to improve what’s already there. But would love to bring it back to original. cheers mate steve

    Hi Guys, Ok my little Cavalier 26 has a Frankenstein rudder on her. As per pic's, apparently rudder was damage a few owners back ??? I have a feeling that the rudder on her now will not be ideal or really fit for purpose. but hopefully will give me enough to at least put her sails up and still sail with some sort of stability. What are my options here ?? I would love to bring it back to original but how ? is there anyone out there that can give me some advise going forward. Thanks guys Steve
  13. Cheers mate. Yeah I think the new sail will have to wait to next years bonus haha Cheers mate Steve
  14. Hi Zozza, Yep we are already talking. . Its good to hear from people that know that type of boat and there experiences with them. Cheers mate Steve
  15. I am up there this weekend. (By Car 🙄 ) I will check it out .and report back. Steve
  16. Hey Sabre, Yeah sure will post up some shots of my soon to be mess haha. Na not really. But I am pretty handy when it comes to doing things like that. And if i get stuck I ask for help. I don't think (Cross fingers ) that it should be to tricky. Proof will be in the pudding but aye lol Cheers mate Steve
  17. Hi Guys, New to the forum. Just got what i have always wanted a yacht. Took 53 years but who's counting lol. So picked up Soulmate about a month ago. she is on a swing Mooring at Orakei at the moment but will move round to Tamaki River soon and be close the BBYC. Also going to be pulling her out of the water and give her a birthday. in side is dated and for what i can see not the typical Cav 26 interior set up.? some one must of had a vision back in the 80;s but not the best lay out at the moment. So gonna have a play around and bring her as best as i can into the year 2021. the t
