Knowing that the rudder hung true I continued with the repairs. I wrapped the assembly in 16 oz cloth and resin. Then I cut strips of 6 oz woven cloth to wrap around like bandages. When that set up, I cleaned with acetone and sanded again. I then covered it all with a large piece of 6 oz cloth to give me the best surface to start fairing with.
When cured I added the first round of fairing compound. I will sand that down and do another round today before the paint I ordered hopefully arrives tomorrow. A day of curing then a couple coasts of Micron CSC. She will be as good as new and ready to hang on the weekend.
I also plan on re-drilling the head with a larger pin to tighten up the tiller
