Graham HAD his rudder apart, I hope not to do that again any time soon.
2 years ago.
The attached pic has been resized to be tiny, it might slip through the
server. The rudder structure (frame) on the 35-3 has three sets of
pieces headed aft, at the post they are about 1.5" apart, at the tail
end of the rudder they are together and are welded to the vertical piece.
They were not glassed to the skins, in fact the skin popped off pretty
cleanly.
I was glad I rebuilt mine, I found the welds (where the heat degrades
the corrosion resistance of the stainless) had corroded pretty badly.

I think the tangs that make up the internal reinforcing structure are
normally glassed to one of the skins so they aren't just bearing
against foam. Graham has his rudder apart, perhaps others on the list
have too, so they could confirm (or correct/refute?) this?
