Hello Everyone:
I thought I'd post some pictures of a rudder repair I did over the winter. A friend of mine hit a rock while coming into the beach, and lost a piece of material where the downhaul line is attached. Rather than trash it, I thought I'd try to fix it using a little home-made "Re-Bar" (a stainless steel screw) and some West System. I also used some dowels as a form and Marine-Tex for fairing. Special thanks to Maestro Schroth for the inspiration.
