Saw that last year, cute but kinda 'so what'

Seeing the level of skill you have Henk, I would imagine you progressing to something up a few notches.

Seems like it would be faster and more luxurious to just stick a mast and boom on a pontoon boat.....

What about making a rudder out of carbon fiber? Seems to me that this is something of a size atemptable and would be worth the effort compared to the cost of buying something similar.
I wonder where you figure out the engineering for sizing the thickness of the carbon skin, types of carbon materials, etc?

Now there is an idea... wonder if it can be done?

Just so happens that I visited Industrial Plastics http://www.ippnet.com/langley.html to buy Marine-Tex for accumulated dents and scratches on the rudder and to educate myself of products available for future reference including carbon fiber which they also sell.

I've been toying with the idea of adding, as per Arlyn's suggestion (see C250 thread "rudder upgrade"), 1/2 - 3/4" to the leading edge of the rudder using a carbon fiber process...

However, before attempting a project like this I wish to thoroughly understand what it involves... tools, equipment, costs, end result, etc.
