Any joy with the bearings for the rudder stock? Having taken the plunge this year I've dropped the rudder out of Petite-Folie with a view to dealing with the play that is becoming annoying (and, with tales of rudder stocks shearing off etc, slightly worrying). A couple of years ago Anders directed me towards an Epoxy solution but I am reluctant to try this, as, knowing my luck, I will successfully glue the whole thing together! Also, contrary to other postings, like your boat, mine has nylon bearings top and bottom, the top being a simple push fit. I've yet to work out how the bottom is held in place but imagine it is glued rather than screwed. There is also some wear on the rudder stock - anyone out there with an idea of how to rectify this without having to rebuild the whole thing?

Seasons greetings to all Trapper people out there

Vaughan
