Mk III rudder

I've got a spare rudder in my locker... must be dry, it has been there for ten years. 

Make me an offer.

Re: Mk III rudder

Hello Wrapper;
I just became the owner of a Mk I with a badly damaged rudder. Having owned lots of smaller (less than 20') sailboats, this is my first "big" boat. Which is to say I don't have any idea of what a replacement rudder costs for a boat like this. Could you let me know what you would take for it (Assuming it is still available)?

Many Thanks!
Andrew

The top of the rudder in the images appears to have been cut down for the rear half of the blade, whereas the stock Mk III rudder had a flat top.  See attached photo of a stock rudder.

Since there's no shot of the whole rudder I can't tell whether the rest of the rudder blade matches the Mk III's relatively deep and high aspect shape.

Cheers,

I have added a few more photos showing the full rudder. 

The top part is angled down aft of the rudder shaft.

Thanks wrapper, I suppose the top could've been cut aft of the rudder shaft but I can't imagine why.

It's hard to tell for sure because of perspective, but the leading and trailing edges don't look parallel in this image.  If they're not, then this is definately not an original rudder from a MK III (or any other C&C 27).

Re: Mk III rudder

Going back in time, I bought this rudder from Mike Lohr.  He had his keel stolen and this was his rudder.

I google searched and found this conversation
