Lugger rudder

   Yesterday I dropped our club's Drascombe Lugger rudder on my toe.

It's made from welded galvanised steel. Blade is 6mm thick.
I would like to make it lighter so I don't drop it again.
Does anyone know of a composite sheet material that in 6mm thick form will be strong enough and sink?
