Posts: 149 Long Island, NY | Since the wonderful gudgeon blew out 3 miles offshore of Jekyll Island on Day 6 of the Tybee, I wasn't able to execute "Plan A" but "Plan B" was devised during the 2 hour, one-rudder sail to the island. Congrats...what a way to kneel down... Mind to elaborate a bit on plan A, respectively plan B?

My gudgeon parted about 3 miles from the finish at Macho Man. Not nearly as challenging as the T-500, but just as dissapointing! Turned out the original gudgeons were only welded on one side, causing the failure.
The replacements (and my spares) were welded on both sides. No doubt due to feedback from sailors like you who drove your boats to the limits.
Congrats on the nuptuals. Do the two of you make minimum weight? You got it. they changed that about 4 years ago I believe. However, the new weak link is the little eye that threads into the lower rudder casting. We had one break on us in the '04 Tybee and Castrol2 had one break on them this last year. I'm planning to have ours dye checked to inspect for cracks before the next big run.
