The gudgeons on this boat are carbon plates that are bonded in with carbon cloth. The cassette and rudder will attach to the gudgeons with stainless pins.
 |
| The upper gudgeon plate is glued to the traveler beam and a fillet has been added. |
 |
| Three layers of 200 g carbon cloth have been wrapped around the gudgeon and the traveler beam |
 |
| This is the inside of the lower gudgeon. A wooden wedge sits under the carbon plate. Thickened epoxy filler is added all around so the carbon cloth goes over smoothly with no sharp edges. |
 |
| A 7/8" rod aligns the gudgeons before the lower is glued into the boat. |

| Here the lower gudgeon is glued and a fillet has been added |
