Rudder repair

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Venture 21 Q&A : One Thread

I have just purchased a 1979 V21. The rudder has a split right along the leading edge of the lower half of the blade. It doesn't look very deep, but it runs the whole length of the blade. Any ideas on how to repair this? I'm thinking of filling the whole length of the crack with epoxy and then maybe facing the edge with a strip of aluminum or something similar.
