Welcome, Joseph! Sorry to hear about the poor start to your adventure. Re the rudder: If you are experienced with the materials and processes needed to repair the rudder, go for it. However, if you have any doubts, I suggest getting a pro to do the work, especially considering the voyage coming up. The 4-5K sounds like a lot for a repair. I suggest you look around a bit more and perhaps contact South Shore Yachts to see if they can supply a new one. http://southshoreyachts.com

Are there any 35 MKII owners who have obtained drawings of this design? I am considering doing the repairs to the rudder myself after receiving quotes of $4K and $5K from two companies. I welcome any suggestions or comments as to the feasibility of doing the repair myself. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
