Pintles and gudgeons form the hinge system of a boat's rudder. They allow the rudder to rotate freely while carrying the loads generated by steering and sailing forces.
Traditionally cast in bronze, these fittings are widely used on classic yachts, traditional sailing craft, working boats and wooden boat restorations. Bronze provides excellent corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in a marine environment.
The choice of pintles and gudgeons depends on rudder weight, transom construction, required offset and pintle diameter. Offset models are often used when additional clearance between rudder and hull is required.
A properly sized set ensures smooth steering, reduced wear and reliable rudder operation.
