We keep our Hunter 320 on the Sacramento Delta for the summer. We had a great sail and we were within 1/4 mile of our slip when we hit what we think was a underwater piling hard. We looked behind our boat to see our rudder had detatched. no one was hurt, and we were lucky to have had this happen in fairly protected waters. Could have been much worse. This is a new experience for me. the rudder snapped at the post. It appears to be wood core. We will be calling the insurance company today. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Can it be repaired or does a new rudder have to be made. We do have insurance. Steve Dale Playpen - 2000 Hunter 320

Update

I have found out that the rudder does need to be replaced and it appears that Hunter Marine subs it out. Has anyone ever had Hunter replace a rudder before? How long did it take? Steve Dale
