Having found water in the rudder casing, and then seen the posts on Ladybird and Kaliope , I am a little spooked. The thought of floating rudderless in the North Sea is not appealing.
The repairs carried out by Ian and Chris do look reassuringly rugged , and I would like to follow their lead.
Any updates / comments re the repairs and would it be possible to have drawings/details.
Re. the water ingress , the view seems to be that this is a result of gaps at the pintle ( solved by re-fixing with Sikaflex ) or cracks in the gelcoat / laminate on the leading edge.
Any further views on causes/treatment , and steps to dry out the core?
Ian
