They don't have to be high tech. I've heard that there was a company that made wooden rudders for the H14 and 16 back in the day. Anyone know about that?

I don't know anything about this really, but my friends at Elkhorn Composites were building hollow surfboards out of aluminum honeycomb core and carbon. They were super stiff and very light. I thought it would be a cool way to make rudders. It would be expensive though! Billet aluminum on a CNC would be cool Karl. Titanium??? Ouch, my wallet.<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />



You can make daggers out of a lot of materials and each method has pluses and minuses.
