New rudder for a mold.
My old 18sq rudders (summer light air, lake sailing) where not effective last year when I used them and the set of NACRA rudders I have weight to much, so I thought I would modify one of the 18sq rudders and make a set of molds so I can make carbon rudders.
The one on the left is one of the 18sq rudders and the one on the right is the plug for the mold.
I cut the tip square and glued on some balsa wood. .Then shaped it with a plane and sanded to shape. Then a coat of epoxy and more sanding then primer.
