Re: Rudder

[Bob Schimmel <bpschim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, I've sailed in lot stronger winds than that and not experienced a 
problem like this with the rudder. It has popped off but it never broke.

It may seem academic at this point but I'm suspecting that the blade was 
loose in the rudder head and the side play eventually scored a line on 
either side of the blade. Exactly the thing required to snap it, just 
like glass.  A break like this is very difficult to repair.  I suppose 
it can be done.  Phone Gene at  800-883-2814.  He has new blades @ $225.00.
