Maybe get a 2nd opinion by a REALLY reputable yard? Maybe New England
Boat works or the like?

I have a decision to make on repairing the rudder on my boat after it
was damaged in a grounding on a reef. The shaft is bent and they are
proposing to straighten the shaft and then repair the fiberglass. It
was described to me by the surveyor as a common process and no big
deal. He said they used heat and hydraulics to do it while the shaft
is still attached to the rudder. He described one done recently on a
Nonesuch as bent worse than mine and came out fine. I have been
looking into having a replacement built, but that is going to take
more time and money to do, so I am wondering what the experience and
wisdom of the group is on the issue of repair. Thanks- Dave
