Graham,

I haven't sighted the rudder specifically yet nor do I have even mildly
calibrated tools with which to make measurements, so the answer to your
question is "maybe".  There was some deformation from years of freeze/thaw
on the remaining original skin.  Steve did sand and fair those deformations
as best he could.  He also made sure to create the proper shape out of the
foam prior to laminating it.  The fiberglass matte was also wrapped around
the edges about 4 inches the whole way around.  So truely the rudder would
probably not fit in the original mold (on either side).  However, given
Steve's expertise, I believe that whatever inconsistencies may exsist will
be negligible and irrelevant to the performance of the boat.  Not only that
but the rudder will certainly be 100x better than the way it was.  I can
only hope at this point.  :)
