For Pegasus I had one machined out of a hard plastic, similar to micarda.

checking out Cat’s Paw today in preparation for launching, I noticed cracks in
the collar around the rudder post where it comes through the cockpit floor (C&C
35 Mk II, 1974). The collar looks like an aluminum casting, probably the
original one. First, is this sufficiently serious I should not even launch
until it is fixed? The rudder is held up by the fitting above that with the two
large allen screws, so I doubt the rudder will fall out. And the rudder still
turns easily. Second, where should I look for a replacement collar? Presumably
the rudder will need to be dropped, or at least held up so it won’t fall out
when the upper fitting is removed. So will the boat need to be hauled to do
that? We are sailing in the Figawi race in less than 3 weeks, so I doubt it
can be fixed before that. Advice please.
Here is a picture of the cracked collar:
