I-28 rudders are made of foam

Hello Paul,
I am a fellow Islander 28 owner. I am not at home right now, so I can't check it out in my owner's manual, but I seem to recall that the rudders on I-28s are made out of high density foam. This foam was covered with a thin coating of fiberglass. It doesn't seem like a unit made with these materials could contain much water. What makes you feel that you need to replace your rudder?
My I-28 is a 1984 and if your boat is from the 1970s then there could be differences. Hope to see you over at islander28.com
