*Please Help* - Need a Rudder for Catalina 250 *ASAP*

[Captainmark]

Does anyone have a rudder for a Catalina 250 for sale, or know of somewhere I can find one in stock? I have contacted Catalina Direct, Catalina Yachts, Rudder Craft, all will take at least 2-3 weeks and I need something by this Thursday (5/24). I work with a sailing school and we can't teach class without a rudder. Please let me know if you can help. Thank you for reading my post and helping if you can.
Mark.

Yikes!!! That would be the day after tomorrow.

Mark.......perhaps you could ask another 250 owner nearby if you could "borrow" his rudder for the day.

If you get desperate make a temporary rudder out of marine plywood. Apply epoxy resin or paint liberally after you get it shaped. Put pop rivets thru any place that threatens to delaminate. It should last long enough for you to get a new rudder.
