Hello, Everyone
I am new here, looking for some advice.
The rudder on my Alcort Sunfish (year unknown) snapped on my last sail. It went clean through in the direction of the grain and needs replacing. The cheek plate and all other hardware are fine. It is just the rudder blade.
I want to buy a new one (synthetic perhaps). My best guess is that the boat is a 1972. Considering the age, I am worried about buying a rudder that is compatible with the existing hardware.
Anyone have an opinion on the matter?
Thanks for your time,
- Patrick
