I have a 1973 Grand Banks 32 (hull 460) and while on the hard and rudder removed for shaft work, the rudder was stolen from the boat yard. Any recommendations of where to get a replacement, used or new? Currently located Urbanna, VA.

Thank you,

Dwight,
Try the local metals recycling places in a few days. Odds are good the (bronze?) rudder was stolen for the scrap value.

If you think that's crazy, I just had my 2-year-old boat shoes stolen at the Suliman Mosque in Istanbul. When entering a mosque, one must remove shoes; most folks leave them on shelves near the door. 3 minutes later, they were gone and an old worn out pair of black loafers left behind.
