Reply to: wooden rudder

[quote=BigWhoop]First off it would be class legal for the Hobie 16, but not most other classes. 1.1 Rudder blades made of another material, yet conforming to the size, shape and minimum weight of the standard rudder blades, may be used. Rudder blades must conform within the minimum and maximum dimensions that are found within the profile plans. Profile plans are available through the IHCA. 1.2 The maximum thickness of a rudder blade(s) shall not exceed 1.015 in. (25.8 mm.), tapering over a distance of 2 ft. (60.96 cm) to a maxi- mum thickness of 1/2 in. (12.7 mm), 2 in. (50.8 mm) from the bottom tip of the rudder. These dimensions are for reference purposes only. Please refer to profile plans for exact dimen- sions. Profile plans are available through the IHCA. They have to weigh as much as an EPO rudder, about 3 pounds. The original EPO rudders have a foam core and about three layers of glass and epoxy over that. So you don't need to make the core all that strong if you put enough glass over the top. That being said a plastic rudder costs $25 to $55 depending. Shipping is usually around $25. For what it's worth as stock rudder weighs about 7 pounds.[/quote]
