I will back from our Mexico cruise on 4/7/06 and can get you the information on the rudder bearings if you still need it.

:: Thanks All! To be safe, I will take my old ones out and

:: :: :: I have a new set that Russ made for me a couple years
:: :: :: ago. I'll loan them to Buzz if he needs to take
:: :: :: measuerments. But I think at lease one boat owner who
:: :: :: bought these from Russ ought to vouch for them before
:: :: :: Buzz puts them into production. Russ mentioned that they
:: :: :: might be a little tight, and require some light post
:: :: :: production sanding.
:: :: :: :: I think Russ is in Mexico on his new boat cruising with
:: :: :: :: his family.

:: :: :: :: :: Joe, Russ Reiber,who used to own Hurricane, made several
:: :: :: :: :: sets a few years ago. I see that his contact information
:: :: :: :: :: is still on the roster.

:: :: :: :: :: :: Ballenger Spars no longer has the specs for the E-27
:: :: :: :: :: :: rudder bearings which two of us have on order. As a last
:: :: :: :: :: :: resort, I can remove mine and send them, but I'd like to
:: :: :: :: :: :: keep sailing. Does anyone have the specs?
