I am not sure there is anyone building rudders. You might be able to buy a used one.

I would suggest checking with TPI. If they still have plans, I'd imagine it would be a 4 figure job.

What happened to your rudder? Mine was seriously waterlogged and I had it repaired.

Nothing wrong with rudder, other than being wet inside. I can't seem to reach TPI (I am in Panama, and at times, this is not easy) ... do you have a working email address for these folks? Thanks.

Class rules require the rudder be built by TPI.

There is a contact for TPI and cost for new rudder of just under $900 right on this web site at http://www.j30.org/html/market/equipment.html

Thanks .... however, I have tried this email address with no result ... which is why I am asking the question in the first place.

For a short period of time back in the late 1990's you could get one for a reasonable price. An Annapolis boat supplied a faired rudder to TPI (or possibly Waterline) to create a new mold since the originals were supposedly lost. Since then it has been extremely difficult and/or expensive. I purchased a used rudder from a class member around this time to keep as a spare. Unfortunately, nice guy that I am, I FedExed it to a desperate class member, out of the area. He was in contention for his season championship and had broken his rudder. Offered it as a loaner or he could buy it for what I paid plus shipping. Never got the rudder back and waited a long time to get paid. Wish now that I had kept it as a fleet loaner. Moral--keep your spare parts and only lend them to reputable friends.

IMHO, it is time to have an alternate builder using a better construction method without altering size, shape, or weight. I'm open to suggestions.

Just got a quote for $2900 plus shipping from Pearson Composites, LLC. I also got a quote of $1300 plus shipping from a Canadian builder, Phil's Foils & Composites. Working through this chore is going to be a lot harder than I thought.
