I recently purchased a 1980 Prindle 16 after years in the monohull (slow) world. My issue with the boat is the rudder system. Someone has it rigged beyond repair. I might be able to salvage the blades and the rudder castings but the rest is pretty much toast. Is there a good source for new parts left or does anybody know who and where I could buy good used ones. Is there rudder system from other cats that might work with little effort on the Prindle?
