Hurricane/White formula parts are not available in Italy.
Did anyone try any other supplier for R.blades and stock that may fit the ISO ?
RS XXX, for example ?

May seem a silly question, but can you not just get them from Wet and Windy?? I got one for the Buzz about 6 months ago, the rudder stocks are the same on the Buzz, ISO, Spice and Boss, just the tiller tube varies in length.
RS XXX use Sea Sure stocks (or used to anyway), rudder blades are obviously a different shape and of a poor quality compared to the ISO one, but may work.
I do have a couple of spare new white formula top stocks, but the tillers are for the Buzz which are slightly shorter.

Hi Stuart,
apart the fact that W&W is in Bristol and I live in Italy I can buy from them....
When you plan to replace the rudder for the next season, buying at Rondar or Wet and Windy is the right choiche, but imagine you break the rudder on the first day of racing in a championship, or even a week in advance, today it would prevent a team from sailing and joining the event...
delivery cost as well may be high. I was asked 1000 euro to deliver a mast once, I assume delivering a DB it is cheaper, but yet...
that's why I try to understand if there is a way to easy recover from sudden break-out...
bye

Any rudder stock of your choice is Class legal so long as the wetted area of the foil is the Class version
We're working on getting foils available asap
