the first line of the story says "the rudder snapped"

That's why my dreams of a larger retirement boat has changed from a Catalina to an Island Packet, Cabo Rico, Valiant, or some other non spade rudder boat. I wanna skeg or keel mounted rudder when I'm out there. Captain Ron has warned us about these things.

<font color="blue"><font size="4"><font face="Comic Sans MS">The bright side is ......the rudder is still under warranty.
Now, if he can just find that rudder.
Let us see how Hunter stands behind it's product.
I'll be looking at future issues of Practical Sailor.

Yup--that's one of the key characteristics of a proper blue-water boat, and just one reason Hunters, Catalinas, and Benny Toes aren't.
