Leo Goolden and crew member Zeal finalize the rudder assembly for their wooden boat restoration project. Zeal beds and fastens the bronze pintles to the rudder using tar and hot-riveted bronze rods, a traditional method chosen for its flush profile and high strength.0:47 To control the boat with less effort, the team installs an auxiliary trim tab on the rudder’s trailing edge.4:16 They mount the trim tab gudgeons with machine screws rather than rivets to allow for future removal and maintenance.6:06 The trim tab shaft runs vertically through a G10 fiberglass tube bored into the rudder stock, which includes a Delrin bearing at the top to ensure smooth operation.11:42 The team also prepares the boat for an open house event by temporarily installing deck hardware, including winch bases, a sheet horse, and a teak butterfly skylight hatch.14:32
