Wooden rudder repairs

Just been given a rudder to repair. It has turned out to be a be more than just a small repair when the top of the rudder fell to pieces



The top of the rudder blade is rotten as well to will have to fit a new piece into the rudder blade before rebuilding the rudder.

Tell tail signs of poor quality fixings being used in the past. 


One rudder cheek down one more to go


The extent of the rot in the top section of the rudder blade, Cut out the rot and set a new piece in and epoxy the whole of the blade to seal the area.
