Moonbeam - sailing yacht

このボートについて
Moonbeam is a kit from Dave Metcalfe. It makes a classic looking yacht, which sails very well in light winds. However, the rigging has been set up so it is easy to remove the top sail and front jib, so it can be sailed in stronger winds.

The kit includes some brass sheet, the instructions suggest this is soldered to the rudder spindle, which is brass rod. I changed the design and used thicker brass, which was threaded and two lock nuts and some loctite. It is then removeable. This method also made it easier to get the brass "tiller arm" to be set at 90 degrees to the actual rudder.
One problem was that the whole assembly was a touch to high, so I had to reduce the depth of the cockpit floor.
I would be interested in how other people have solved this problem on the Moonbeam or similar type boats. The first photo shows a "dry" fit, the second shows it finished.
