Hi Richard,

These are them, I think they are bronze and in good nick, the flat part of the trailing edge is about 12inches. Pm me if they look like they will do, they are not the same as the original design but may do you...

Thanks for the pictures Clive. I think my plan of action is to go and have a look at another rivers class boat - possible the humber and coquet (they are all slightly different after all these years it appears). That way i can get a better understanding of what is needed of the rudders - my hope - money willing - it to re engine the the avon to the original power so rudder decision will be quite critical. It would be fantastic if your rudders are suitable and thanks again for the offer. As soon i know more i'll let you know
Cheers

No problem Richard, I doubt the rudders are going anywhere soon. Please call in when you go to see Humber.

Hi there, cracking shot of coquet, what a lovely vessel and job done! as we all know, a great deal of hard work to get these vessels upto scratch, well done.
