I've not rebuilt a rudder - but I've seen on one youtube. Not sure if you're familiar with Sail Life channel - Mads is rebuilding a boat and does a mold of his existing rudder before.  He makes it look manageable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IjN9Sgm2qs

Thanks Rob, It sounds unbelievable but I was told by the last fibreglass man to have worked on my rudder that the fins/grid structure inside my rudder (original) are made from MILD STEEL and welded to the stainless steel post. Where many of us have wet rudders, this is obviously very very bad. I

The metal grid structure inside the rudder is very important. On our C&C’s this structure is made from stainless steel plates that are welded to the stainless steel rudder shaft. Tartan 37’s are known to have a problem with their carbon steel internal rudder plates that were welded to the stain

Going on about 7 years ago, we ended up bending our rudder stock through a combination of a dark night, distraction and other circumstances I care not to discuss in public.  In the end, a new rudder was fabricated by Foss Foam out of Florida.  It was noticeably lighter than the previous version,
