Kinda hard to see in this picture but the top one is before, the bottom is after.
I'm writing this blog as a journal of my build of a Duo-660 catamaran. Most of the content will be dedicated to this endeavor. I try to populate posts with pictures since it is instructive. The notes tab is for misfit posts. Always nice to have a place for the misfits.

Updated Wedge Design
I think I figured out why my rudders were walking out of the jig. As always a picture is worth a thousand words.
I think every time I let go of the clamps the rudder would tilt the wedge just a bit. Then when I clamped down again first the wedge would slide against the rudder till flush on jig and then compress the rudder more. Repeat many times on both sides and you have a rudder that walks out of its jig. Luckily the solution is simple. I just moved the 1x2 from the trailing edge to the leading edge of the wedge. This should balance much better.
