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.

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:
