Thanks everyone, I've looked into both Foss Foam and Competition Composites. Both options are landing well into the $5000 cdn range (including freight) which is way beyond my budget. Foss Foam doesn't have a C&C44 Rudder mold but can try to "match" something similar which scares me a little and it's roughliey $1200 US to get it to Canada. Competition has a very expensive high-tech process using CAD software and a milling machine which I'm sure is standard for any Americas Cup contender but drives the price as expected.
Has anyone tried to re-build their own rudder? - I've been told carving 15lb density rigid foam and encapuslating is the way to go - like this: http://boatprojects.blogspot.com/2011/07/rudder-rebuild.html Dan On Fri, Apr 19, 2019 at 9:00 AM Rod Stright via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I would suggest Competition Composites in Ontario excellent > workmanship,Canadian $$$$ > > Rod > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Apr 18, 2019, at 4:38 PM, Dan via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > > > Has any C&C44 owners on the list replaced their rudder, and if so, where > did you have the work done? - The price is dramatically reduced if they > have an existing mold to work with. > > > > Dan Cormier > > Breakaweigh > > C&C44 > > Halifax, NS > > _______________________________________________ > > > > Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
