  • Finally!

Robert G. Hoffman (Annapolis Carbon Boat Works; no longer in business), contracted by Campbell's marina for the rudder fabrication, stated in late fall/early winter that rudder was completed except for one very minor thing that needed to be completed.

Only to finally discover in late Feburary that the rudder fabrication had not even been started!!!!! 

Eventually after poor communcation and lack of confidence (orignal work estimate was 12wks), the work was then contracted to Ruddercraft.

Needless to say cost me numerous days on the water! She's finally home after 8mos on the hard in Oxford MD.
