Bo - I won’t speak to the black magic of moisture meter expectations but a
large, widening crack probably speaks for itself unfortunately.
Another poster referred to the freeze/thaw cycle when trapped water is present,
and trapped frozen water is definitely not normal or good in any way. It
That is relative. Depends on whether you fix it yourself, or pay to have
somebody do it. YouTube maybe your friend.

Today as I was observing the hull condition, I found that my rudder had the
seam showing in this picture:
You should be able to find some climbing dynamic rope by meter (even in the US
climbing ropes are usually sold by meter not by foot). Choices are more limited
compared to pre-cut, but there are a few.
Interestingly, Sailing Anarchy had a discussion on the topic.
The dynamic climbing ropes are
Mine are all 3/8 StaSet, I think. Some day I'll change the traveler sheet
to 9.5 mm (3/8") New England Salsa.

Ron,
Here's a link to a PS article on line stretch to cost. They wrote the
article to show stretch to cost value. In your case you might be able to
use the inverse and simply look for the stretchy and cheap? I have the
ubiquitous sta-set on my mainsheet and traveller. This was a choice of
Cracks like that often happen when a water logged rudder freezes in the off
season. Mine was not cracked but it was very saturated. The attached link
shows what was involved when the fiberglass guy did the repairs.

Hate to say it, but looks to me like a classic case of a water logged rudder
freezing which expands the water forcing the weak point (seam) to crack open.
Fix is to drop the rudder, cut out one side, clean and dry it out, ensure
rudder stock is sound, rebuild (foam and new glass skin), seal
Hi Dwight,
I did not check, as I don't know how; but when I did my insurance last
year, I was told by multiple people that water inside the rudder was
"normal" and they will have high moisture reading.
or am I wrong in my understanding?

If that’s a crack then yes it could be serious and yes you can repair it, but
if there are structural concerns it may become more involved than you are
comfortable with. The issue is water ingress and whether parts may have
separated or delaminated. I don’t know that boat but it is likely a

Looks serious to me. Did you check for water inside the rudder?

Bo -
I Just looked more closely at the pic and as others have inferred I think it
would be extremely unlikely that the rudder is intact inside. Looks like rust
stains at the bottom of the nearly full length crack. Fwiw, I wouldn’t be
comfortable simply patching it it if it were mine.
Yes. One exception is that there is a school of thought that the traveller
should use something stretchy, like mountain climbing rope, to absorb the
shock of a jibe. Apparently getting a piece of used climbing line
shouldn't be that difficult.

This question shows a terrible lack of knowledge but here goes: To replace
some running rigging like the downhaul, topping lift and traveler line, is a
double braid like Sta-Set the normal product to use?I no longer race my own
boat, so it's just what's needed for playing around.If I measured

On my 30, they are both 3/8. Your style of traveler may be different. Stay Set
or equivalent is OK,I got something similar for less $. Double braid works OK.I
have a Garhauer vang, so don’t have a topping lift, but my spinnaker topping
lift is 3/8.
