Hello C&C'ers

Hi
It is a Fiberglass outer shell - the join is at the leading edge of the rudder
Top part out of the water is painted white over the fiberglass
I believe the interior is foam

I confirm it is all foam, got a new one and before that I has to fix the old one, it was all foam

Re: 27 MK V rudder structure

Interesting -- (resurrecting an old thread here)

We had a crack on the aft face of the upper part of the rudder, along the centre.  I thought it might be stress crack so I shaved the gelcoat off of that face.  Turned out that the top part of our rudder is laminated marine ply; it was not a stress crack, and I had to fix it then.  I would guess that the interior of the blade is also (mostly) plywood as well.

Cheers
