09 / 30 / 99 The rudder box was attached. Note the whole for the bottom eye bolt.  You can also see two small bolt heads that are recessed on the lower rub rail. These hold the fairlead that holds the block inside the lazerette.
09 / 27 / 99 The steering hardware (minus the wheel and spindle) was installed.  The scheme is basically the same as in the design, except that boat blocks with sheathed cable and a turnbuckle was used. It is hoped that the cable will not stretch.  The idea was to eliminate the bolt ends protruding past the boat exterior. 
10 / 01 / 99 The lazerette front was installed. Scrap wood and clamps were used to induce the proper bend.
