Even the best collanders have small holes!! 10mm should do the trick

Samuel,

 

I visited my 311 this weekend to find that water stopped weeping out of the two 4mm holes I drilled last Monday. To follow up on Thomas' advice, I'm going to sand down the entire trailing edge of the rudder in Spring and inspect it for cracks. I also felt a small depression with my fingernail at the bottom of the rudder (which I can't get at now) -I probably bumped into something this season, allowing water to penetrate and travel up the laminate. Such are the joys of owning boats

I can now report that I have drilled holes about to let it all out.

The first I did in the side about half way up-- Bone dry

The second a quarter of the way down-- Bone dry

The third 6 inches from the top ( 150mm for the rest of europe)

& guess what-- Bone dry

I finally drilled a hole 4 inches from the top and about half a pint of water ran out

Not really a problem after all. It is now, !! as I have got to fill the B..... holes in !!

Hello
 
I brining this old post up
 
Any news about this problem
 
I just bpught a 2004 312 and I had some little osmosis on the rudder
 
It comes from the inside, water enters from the top of the rudder
 
For the moment I just closed the top with some kind of sike
 
this winter I'll drill a hole in the bottom
let the eventual water get out bu the bottom and hope it's ok in april
 
 
Not only those who wander are lost

I've learn that the best way to learn about people is to sail with them

Soinds like you have one pf the dodgy ones somilar to mine. I grounded quite lightly off Inverness & shortly after floating gently off the rudder split in half vertically. This ended up in the RNLI towing me to port & a bill for £5k + for a proper rudder from Jefa.
When i get back from ostend in september i can send you photos of how badly the old ridder had been made. I am sure most owners would change theirs if they thought theirs was like mine
