As im sure many of you are aware, Laser recently changed the design of the Pico foils, using selden as their supplier instead of Holt, due to no longer being able to supply the rudder blade.

This leaves sailing schools like us in a difficult situation. We currently have 14 old style picos, as well as some of the newer ones. We have been attempting to source new rudders for the older style boats but laser can only supply the stock and tiller and no one else seems to be able to supply the blade.

Has any one else had the same problem and come up with a solution?

Make you own. They don't need to be Milanes quality; just simple and servicable.
