In case you don't know, the rudder cracks along the edge because there is a twisting/flexing motion when sailing and that eventually causes the crack. The solution is to brace the rudder internally to prevent the twisting and also use strong cloth to wrap around all edges, or it will just happen again. HTH

I am just amazed at the cost-cutting Bene goes to with their products. No internal framework for the rudder???? You must be joking.
Saw another video of someone who used an old Bene rudder as a template. The rudder post, given no internal framework, spun around inside the rudder, and was essentially useless.
Unbelievable shitty products.
