Does anybody have templates for the Prindle 15/16/18 rudders? Mine are really worn and at the moment I'm swapping the system from 16 to 18 when I want to sail the other one. The rudders on the 16 are very worn as well but not to the core yet.
Searching the site and Google hasn't given anything yet.

UPS ships everywhere, what is your zip (country) code? But I haven't seen a Prindle rudder yet I couldn't fix with epoxy & microballoons. And my ads still running on this site! Pete -

Like Pete said I can't imagine any wear that could not be refurbished by building up with some mixed epoxy and sanding back to fair. I have several pair here I plan to do just that to very soon. Pete shoud write us up a good step by step Prindle rudder refurbishing guide.

I'd like to refurbish my existing ones but I don't know the right shape because all the rudders are worn down.
So i'd like an outline what the shape should be. Like there is for the bottom of the hobie hulls for example.
