I know it doesn't call for one in the plans...but I've seen a few other builds with something of the sort. I know Barrett put some on her boats. I think they look kinda "salty". Plus I'll need some place to attach and snug up the anchor rode, won't I?
So I made a samson post. I think the wood is Brazilian Cherry. Laminated from a couple of pieces, shaped and temporarily bolted to BH2.

I dunno...does it look a little beefy for a boat this size? Maybe I should pare it down to 3" square?

| Dry fitting rudder cheeks and blade. Looks like it should steer her just fine. |
AND THEN...we took a family vacation to the Caribbean. Bareboated a Moorings 50' in St Martin, Anguilla, and St. Barth.
