25 strips of double bias tape


Here's a somewhat confusing photo taken from inside the boat looking aft towards the kick up rudder box and boarding steps of the starboard hull.  All of the seams have now been reinforced with 4 inch strips of DBM1708 tape and epoxy.  Although the sail drives of the twin Yanmar 3YM diesels extend about a foot below the bottom surface of the lowest point of the hull, I chose to go with the "kick up" rudder option.  I figure if I bang my props on a rock, at least I'll still have rudders......because a ship without a rudder is like a ship without a rudder.
