Thanks! I Emailed Tony but he needs original colvic drawings/measurements. No idea where I would get these from!

Any UFO27 owners out there able to get some measurements off their rudder for me?

have you tried contacting other owners to see if they can get you measurments

The original rudder fell off at sea never to be seen again.

Apologies, I misread your post!
I was hoping to find some other ufo27 owners on here as a result of this post. Not sure where else I would find them, doesn't seem to be any sort of owners forum.

even look for ones for sale and ask the owner for measurements

maybe tony mckillikan can make a rudder based of the brochure drawings if u give him the dimensions of the keel and that maybe can give a rough idea of the size of the rudder. he did the same for my intro 22 when i lost the rudder after a grounding as dimensions i got from other owners were all different so he designed a new one for the boat. i dont have it anymore but its still in use at my club

No luck getting hold of Holman and Pye or Lancer Laminating unfortunately

I think this will be my best bet. Thanks for the advice. Winter project for sure!

That rudder looks very similar to my Oyster 37.
Contact Ralph Catchpole @ Fox`s Marina & Boatyard, he will "know someone" for sure
