This leads aft to where the stern beginsto round up and there it is stopped. This keel is attached with galvanized or brass screws, anda generous number are driven through the keel into thebottom edges of the centre-board trunk. The rudder is made from galvanized sheet-iron as shownat Fig. 29, and is let into a one-and-a-quarter-inch round ironrudder-post and riveted fast. Just above the rudder-bladea collar of iron is welded to the post and this bears againstthe bottom of the boat. To prevent the rudder from drop-ping down a pin is passed through a hole in the post close tothe deck and a large washer made fast to the deck will pre-vent the pin from chafing the wood. Have the top of the post made with a square shank sothat a tiller may fit over it and be held in position by a nut. The rudder-blade should be twenty-six inches long andtwelve inches wide. The mast is fifteen feet
