Sorry your voyage had such a rough start. FYI - I took the rudder out of my 35 MK I and it wasn't all that hard - just tedious. It isn't all that heavy either. If the MK II has as crappy a bearing/collar design as the MK I you will be wanting to redo that too.

Joseph, You might contact Foss Foam at <http://newrudders.com/> for a quote. They make rudders and might just have a mold for yours.

Welcome, Joseph! Sorry to hear about the poor start to your adventure. Re the rudder: If you are experienced with the materials and processes needed to repair the rudder, go for it. However, if you have any doubts, I suggest getting a pro to do the work, especially considering the voyage coming up. The 4-5K sounds like a lot for a repair. I suggest you look around a bit more and perhaps contact South Shore Yachts to see if they can supply a new one. http://southshoreyachts.com Best of luck! Rich Knowles INDIGO LF38 Halifax, NS.

Are there any 35 MKII owners who have obtained drawings of this design? I am considering doing the repairs to the rudder myself after receiving quotes of $4K and $5K from two companies. I welcome any suggestions or comments as to the feasibility of doing the repair myself. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
