This also gets a tightness check every pre sail . Has not come loose in a year. Look at a new boat to see the difference. Any pics of the new gudgeon? |

FYI, Steve's gudgeon snapped off last week while sailing the flat waters of our local river. It did not break because of anything "extreme". It broke simply of stress and fatigue. These failures are of great concern to many of us. I ditto Stringy's request for more info and pictures of the new upgraded gudgeon for the TI. |
