Hello Everyone:
I posted the question on Pearson Facebook group and Helge E.T. Thomsen responded. I am reposting his answer with his permission; some of you may find it very useful:

"Yes, Iwona Awlasewicz. They are still being produced. They are running about $4200+SH(I think to remember, but with the current state of economy it might have changed). PM me for further info. as I am the go-to guy for this Mk II rudder. They are made in Florida, at www.newrudders.com (Foss Foam) Cheers, E.T."

P40 / P40 Rudder

« on: March 13, 2023, 02:44:04 PM »

Hello Gentlemen:
I am looking for information on a new rudder design for Pearson 40. It is my understanding that Roger Marshall designed a new rudder for Chip Lawson and others (Kretchmer's article on P40 for Sail Magazine) and the result was a "partially balanced spade rudder."

I was wondering if anyone of you knew anything about that.

Thank you!

Iwona

PS. It does look like P40 owners are somewhat underrepresented here...
