Dan:
I’ve reported on this before so I apologize for boring everybody.
I had high moisture readings in the rudder on my 42 when I bought the boat.
We did not open it up to inspect the metal (stainless vs. regular), so I can’t
comment about this issue. In my case, we drilled a number of holes in a
pattern on one side of the rudder, through the core, until the bit hit glass on
the other side. We then made a “coffin/oven” out of plywood to house the
rudder over the winter, and heated the inside to 200 degrees or thereabouts.
After baking the rudder for a few months, we tested it with the moisture meter
and, voila, it was dry. We then filled the holes with West System, and covered
the rudder with numerous layers of Interprotect before painting. So far, so
good.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Replacing a CnC 44 Rudder
Thanks everyone,
I've looked into both Foss Foam and Competition Composites. Both options are
landing well into the $5000 cdn range (including freight) which is way beyond
my budget. Foss Foam doesn't have a C&C44 Rudder mold but can try to "match"
something similar which scares me a little and it's roughliey $1200 US to get
it to Canada. Competition has a very expensive high-tech process using CAD
software and a milling machine which I'm sure is standard for any Americas Cup
contender but drives the price as expected.
Has anyone tried to re-build their own rudder? - I've been told carving 15lb
density rigid foam and encapuslating is the way to go - like this:
