I have a 35MkII. I had a crack near the top of the rudder. I thought I
fixed it by wrapping the crack with a couple of sheets of glass, fairing
etc. Attempted to seal the shaft. I was new and didn't know anything about
fixing boats. Anyway it cracked again. Learned about draining the rudder in
the winter. Did that but did not fix the crack. Next haul out the skin was
gone from my rudder and most of the foam. The stock has a steel plate
welded to it and was in good shape.
I had it repaired for around 3 boat bucks Cdn. The guy who did it foamed
and faired the shape and then wrapped cloth completely around it, faired
and interprotected it.
Only one season in so fingers crossed it won't split again.

Continuing my adventure with sailing and my boat...looking for advise from
experienced sailors, as always...

Today as I was observing the hull condition, I found that my rudder had the
seam showing in this picture:

Is this something serious or I can patch it up myself?

thank you in advance.
