The wooden rudder blade of my 1978 Sunfish has split a chunk off down through the attachment holes. I am thinking of cutting a larger piece out of it , so the holes are not in line with the repair. Then attaching a new piece in place, with pins and epoxy. Then shape the new piece.
I see the blade had a pin of some sort inserted above the top hole. Any information about what it was made of?
I bet others have done this but I can't find any reference to it. Do you think it will stand up to use in the real world? Or any other suggestions.
Thanks Gary
