HI, if you have an extra or know where I can buy one for less please let me know! My rudder was coming apart at the seam and we sailed in 20MPH winds and the pressure split it. Can't be repairedThanks.

a friend built his own with a power planer, and a sheet of hdpe (high density polyethylene) from grainger. That was for a hunter 260, works well and an interesting solution. search the forum for rudder, i think it was foss??? that built a mold for a balanced rudder that was better price than catalina direct. cD also has a poly rudder but I think it came back as unfavorable reviews due to warpage in high heat situations
