New Rudder is on Order

The boat is needing a new rudder.  The photos from the diver didn't show the true extent of the damage.

Apart from the damage in the photos, when I went to Schooner Creek Boatworks, the shaft was bent 5 degrees off center.  The shipwright at SCBW tried to straighten but to no avail, it was a loss.

I ordered the new HDPE rudder from Rudder Craft, it's expected to be in 2-3weeks.  So much for summer sailing.
