Rudder

Rudder -

So to anchor in Hiva Oa you need to anchor fore and aft to keep from hitting the other boats. Unfortunately the anchor line got hooked on the rudder, and with the strong surge/current/wind combo the force was extreme and ended up splitting the rear of the rudder open for about 18". Now the question is do I have to drop the rudder and re-fiberglass it, or can I just patch it with underwater epoxy for the next year?

Decisions, decisions......

Courage
