Whoops, re-read Bruno's earlier email and realize we are talking the
same place.

It is possible to do a DIY job to a NACA profile, it just takes some
time to plot the proper profiles out and use them as templates. It
was NOT a trivial DIY job though, be sure of your abilities first.
As Ken mentioned, I did rebuild mine. It was saturated, and cracked
during the winter. When I pulled the skins off I was happy I'd
decided to rebuild as the welds holding the frame to the post were
dramatically corroded. I had a new frame welded on, applied and
shaped new foam, and put glass on top. Very happy with the result. I
kept the same outline shape (in case anyone is thinking of turning me
in to the PHRF folks...), but shaped it to NACA foils. It was not
shaped like that before. Very happy with the results.
Within Canada there is also Competition Composites (AKA Phil's Foils)
in Ottawa. They will re-use the post if you want and will CNC cut the
profile in the foam, so super accurate.

Doing the research about replacement/repair and different profiles of
rudders i became quite obsessed with the importance of the design and
precision of the profile (ref. NACA profiles).
So a DIY job was quickly out of question. The boat is not a 40 kts
foiler but i do race the boat and wanted a nice rudder.
The small local yard quote was over 2500$ for a complete rebuild,
that would have been very ok, but still an eyeball job. At this point
i decided to go all the way crazy and give the job to the pros. Don't
regret it, i almost cried when i opened the box it was so beutiful!
There is a lot of good info on their website, even a video of the
fabrication process.
I have now a keel fairing job on my to do list, but not a priority at
this point.

Thanks for the info about your rudder replacement,Bruno. Good company
to keep in mind if I ever need to do mine. Better to deal with a
Canadian company with our dollar being so low right now.
