Repairing a delaminated rudder

(Please note I filmed some segments vertically and some horizontally by mistake, but the subject and images are still good for intended purpose.. I'll do better next time!!) This is a video I created when I fixed a delaminated rudder on a sailboat. Below is the list of tools and products I used. The sailboat is a Mirage 26 that had been left on her cradle over 3 years without the rudder drain plugs removed. Hence the Canadian winter freezing cycles caused a delamination of the original balsa core material. A delaminated rudder can collapse and easily break away under some sailing conditions where the rudder would be under load or stress. Tools used: Drill Drill bit for 1’’ hole Long shaft ¼’’ drill bit to reach in and grind out core Flexible cutter blade or hand saw Palm sander Shop Vac Disposable gloves Lint free rags or paper towels Tapping kit Products used: Sandpaper (80, 220 and 150 grit) Acetone 50/50 alcohol mixture One can of low expansion insulation foam Interlux Watertire Epoxy Filler Interlux Interprotect 2000 VC17 antifouling paint (or any antifouling of your choice)
