I've looked at a boat today, and the broker mentioned that the only
problem of which he is aware is that there has been water ingress to the
rudder. This is a long-keeled boat with the rudder attached aft - top
and bottom - to the keel; the kind that just has a small opening for the
propeller. The boat is of solid GRP construction - no sandwich or core,
though I'm guessing that, in the case of the rudder, it's not just a
void.

Has anyone here experience of water in the rudder? What are the
implications of this happening?

Thank you for comments and suggestions. Any references to online
material will also be gratefully received.

Thanks Bruce and GG for the feed-back. I've drawn this point in
particular to the attention of the surveyor - he might not have found it
on his own, the boats been out of the water for over a year so may have
dried out! I'm sure he'll pay very close attention to it and I'll await
his response.

Justin.
