That is bizarre, that he took a (probably) perfectly good rudder off and replaced it with that - it looks like the wall thickness of the carbon fiber tube is less than that of the original SS. I would think you would want double the thickness of the SS in the CF. At least where it exits the hull. Maybe a better idea if you are really worried about that is to make a rudder tube with very rich SS, like a duplex or Nitronic. Oh well.
At least he got his boat back, looks well taken care of.

I'm guessing its at least $5,000, so its not in my budget! BTW, the C&C 41 that lost its rudder returning to Newport from Bermuda had a new carbon fiber rudder. The stock was too thin and broke. The owner had replaced the original rudder due to its age. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com -- Joel 301 541 8551
