Our rudder has a 3/4" thick delrin washer that sits on the rudder shaft above
the blade and under the hull. The weight of the rudder is supported by a set
of rollers on a shaft that goes through the rudder shaft above the deck. There
is also a metal wearing ring that the rollers ride on. I th
Hello All,
The rudder on my C&C 37/40 was clunking while running before a following
sea. I removed the pedestal and cables to replace my idler plate and when I
grabbed the radial quadrant atop the rudder post to check for play I found
quite a bit (3/4"or so) of axial play (up and down). My questio
I had our rudder rebuilt at Competition Composites back in 2014 for our 33-2
and I will vouch for them as well. For the rudder rebuild using the old post
it was a little over $3 K Cdn. There were other options like a carbon post and
I ended up shipping it to them then going to pick it up. Sou
Yes, that was on a rudder for a 39 that the original owner had the barn door
rudder upgraded at Bruckmans. The first year I had it, half the rudder was
missing in the fall, pretty much like the picture we just saw.
It went from around 140# to a hundred pounds, it was virtually weightless in

Completion Composits in Ontario rebuilt my rudder and did a great job. It was
about 325lbs when I removed it and 150lbs after rebuild. It was wet inside and
the bottom 10"+ was solid fiberglass. I was concerned about the
deteriorization of the shaft. Turns out it was in good shape. There is
Didn't someone get stainless ribs cut to a NACA airfoil, weld them onto the
original rudder shaft, and then skin both side with thin stainless sheetmetal?
That actually sounds pretty light.

Interesting reveal as to how our rudders are constructed. Years ago a C&C 41
replaced their rudder with a high tech one prior to a BMD race. Damned thing
fell apart on the way back. I think I would rather rebuild what we have and
carry the weight around.

Makes sense. There is a C&C here that had its rudder replaced a number of
years ago with a flat metal plate (with a few stiffeners on the sides) with
the same outline as the original rudder. It works for them. Looks
weird though.
