Hobie 16 EPO Rudder 1, Side 1

It took three 80 grit orbital sander pads, but I finally got one side of one rudder completely sanded. The finish is actually pretty smooth, so I think I will fiberglass over this without sanding to 120 or 220.

These rudders are definitely different than the last set...  They sand to yellow fiberglass, verses to grey mat that my other set sanded to, and the core is exposed along the entire edge.

I'll get the other side sanded and take some closeups of the exposed core next.
