C22 Rudder Repair

After work is was raining, 2 degrees Celcius, with a North wind 20 knots.  It was VERY cold and miserable at the boat.

Got home and in the garage, opened up the crack on the rudder with an 1/8" of an inch drill bit every 1/2" down the length of the crack.  I think the pintles are what was holding the rudder together.  Also oversized the mounting holes for the pintles and will fill them with epoxy and re-drill.

I cut out some fiberglass cloth to fit the length of the crack.

Filled the open crack with polester resin and placed two layers of cloth over it

I then clamped the crack closed (see above).
