I am running the Australian high performance cat. rudders,same as taipan,very simple. .......Bob

many people switch to the nacra 6.0 rudders.

if you order an upper or lower casting from canada.. you will probably get used parts.... *(as i did)

remember though the Ozzie parts are not the same as the U.S stuff from the last 20years

Thomas sorry I did not see it sooner but your casting can be repaired ,for some eason I could not download te picture until tonight.I have seen a lot worse on the NACRA 6.0 CASTINGS AS FAR AS DAMAGE GOES. Guess what it probably will not ever break in the same place ever again once a qualified TIG welder gets ahold of it. GD.....LuckP.S the 6.0 is a great design after the formula 40's Nacra got skeered and dropped the bow foil in there design because they were cracking hulls this also let them set up a larger jib but a well sailed M6.0 still is in the mix with todays designs...so everybody has some problem or another

Good news! I just ordered a new upper casting for my rudder on 5.5 from Yeves sailing school. It cost 135.00 ca plus shipping and comes with the aluminum tiller tube. They were quite helpfull,but you have to be a bit patient with communication. I emailed them as well and they responded within a day. You may want to call them? Broken rudders are 350.00 canadian.

please keep us posted on what you get...
new condition?
anodized?
how long did it take to get?

Ive recieved my upper rudder casting 1 week after the order I put in to Selene at Yves by phone. It was shipped from montreal to Vancouver BC and is exactly what I needed. I just had to paint it up.
