Hi Bruno
Are you a salt water boat or fresh? If salt you may find that the metal
frame inside the rudder is rusted away (particularly at the welds) and
needs to be replaced, budget a contingency of a few boat bucks for that.

thanks everyone for the inputs.
Allan, nice to hear from you, hope you're doing well.
I have checked both Southshore and CCI about replacement, Southshore
sells the "original" rudder for 4500$ like said Francois, and CCI can
make a new blade for 3000$ if you send your post, would be more with a
new SS post or carbon is offered two.
I could but will not this job myself, we have a very good guy around
that does composite repairs and custom fabrication, I have no doubt
the new rudder will be very well made, better than new in fact, and
reliable and a lot cheaper...But since I race the boat I want to be
sure the profile is right so I want to have the right numbers to give
to the builder.
with no mold and with both sides profiles altered, he will probably
have to shape a foam core and laminate over, the key will be to have
the core right to minimize the fairing and keep the weight down. The
actual one is so heavy... Probably wet and with a lot of putty from
previous "repairs".
I might even ask CCI if they could just sell a CNC milled foam core in
two pieces that I could put together minimizing the shaping effort and
trouble to get it right. That seems to there construction technique.
it was interesting to see the file with the sketch of the 37+ rudder.
It looks like the profile goes tapered from 15% at the top to 11% at
the tip. it makes sense and I will check mine to see if I can find the
same variation. I would love to have an elliptical shape if I wasn't
worry it would affect my rating...
I will check with the museum to buy the plans and hope to find answers.
thanks.

Hello Bruno,
If you'd rather spend the cash instead of going through the whole
exercise, how about a brand spankin' new one that's supposedly improved?
Check out www.Southshoreyachts.com <http://www.Southshoreyachts.com>
. I see one here:
http://southshoreyachts.com/?s=Rudder&post_type=product for your
boat for $4,500.00. It's a bit pricey but it's peace of mind..
Bonne année!
