My Cape Charles has an oversized aft hatch. This made it easy to run the cable housings from the rudder kit.

I just finished making a rudder control pedal / footbrace per Nick's book. While I haven't tried it yet, I like the design a lot better. I'll post an evaluation when I launch the new boat, hopefully with pix.
