Rudder - Kings Cuiser 29

[Nina Lucia]

Friend of mine lost complete rudder on his Kings Cruiser 29, how dificult is to replace one?
He is based in Portchester SC, Portsmouth, next to Solent, any sugestion of good company that can do that job?
I suppose it will be insurance claim...
Mant Thanks

Any good boatyard should be able to make a new one - a friend lost his a couple of years ago, made by local boatyard, had 2 quotes, paid by insurance.
Ps - I spotted a rudder on ebay yesterday ...

Slight fred-drift but I wasn't sure what a King's Cruiser 29 was so I quickly googled and wow! What a honey. Very reminiscent of a She27 or 31.

Does she sail as nicely as she looks like she should?

One thing I did notice from some of the photos though was a lot of corrosion on the rudder fittings; perhaps this has happened before?

As above, any decent boatyard ought to be able to sort it out.

As he lost his rudder on the swinging moorings, probabaly just dropet off close by...
