Took my '77 sunfish out today for our 3rd voyage into the ocean, and managed to break my wooden rudder in 2 pieces. Since we had lost steering, we couldn't help but to capsize in the swells- which promptly rammed my upper spar into the sand. It's bent pretty badly, can I keep sailing on it even though it's bent- or is its strength comprimised?
For the sake of my wallet I hope that I can keep 'er cheap and bent
Has anyone had their fiberglass rudders snap in large waves?
