I had no problem carrying my 35 MK I rudder around, it was much lighter than I
thought it would be.

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

A couple of rudder thoughts to add to this discussion. One is that the early
C&Cs, like the original 1971 rudder on my 30, used mild steel for the webbing
on the SS rudder post. Once water gets in there and the steel rusts, you can
add rust expansion to the ice expansion to destroy the thing - w
Interesting thought. Some discussion here:

I wonder how much the cost difference redoing
A foam rudder and stainless rudder
The stainless idea I saw it on YouTube
Now there sailing the Bahamas and they love it

I saw a boat that was only about 3 years old with a rudder split from ice. Some
people have holes drilled in their rudders at the bottom they drill out in the
fall and then epoxy closed before launch. My boat is not out of the water in
the winter, so I have not had this issue.

That is relative. Depends on whether you fix it yourself, or pay to have
somebody do it. YouTube maybe your friend.

Bo - I won’t speak to the black magic of moisture meter expectations but a
large, widening crack probably speaks for itself unfortunately.
Another poster referred to the freeze/thaw cycle when trapped water is present,
and trapped frozen water is definitely not normal or good in any way. It
this sounds like an expensive problem...

Hi Dwight,
I did not check, as I don't know how; but when I did my insurance last
year, I was told by multiple people that water inside the rudder was
"normal" and they will have high moisture reading.
or am I wrong in my understanding?

Bo -
I Just looked more closely at the pic and as others have inferred I think it
would be extremely unlikely that the rudder is intact inside. Looks like rust
stains at the bottom of the nearly full length crack. Fwiw, I wouldn’t be
comfortable simply patching it it if it were mine.

Looks serious to me. Did you check for water inside the rudder?

Cracks like that often happen when a water logged rudder freezes in the off
season. Mine was not cracked but it was very saturated. The attached link
shows what was involved when the fiberglass guy did the repairs.

If that’s a crack then yes it could be serious and yes you can repair it, but
if there are structural concerns it may become more involved than you are
comfortable with. The issue is water ingress and whether parts may have
separated or delaminated. I don’t know that boat but it is likely a co
Hate to say it, but looks to me like a classic case of a water logged rudder
freezing which expands the water forcing the weak point (seam) to crack open.
Fix is to drop the rudder, cut out one side, clean and dry it out, ensure
rudder stock is sound, rebuild (foam and new glass skin), seal the
