Triage...

Yesterday I took my ailing Atoms clone self-steering apart and found myself in that no-mans land of triage... Do I repair? Rebuild/modify? Or just build a whole new one...

More than likely I'll just repair it, derust as much as possible and give it some paint to make it a kiss more attractive at the next nautical flea market/boat jumble I find myself at.

The upside is I have been just itching to build a new gear as there are some things I'd really like to try out (like not using a trim tab for one and some cunning carbon trickery for another), plus I'd feel better with an auxiliary rudder system when all is said and done.

Fun stuff...
