Back to my big-project verson for a minute. ?Just in case this wasn’t clear —
Bending load is going to be max at the leading edge and taper off to near zero at the trailing ?edge, so you might use only 2-3 layers of glass full length but build up steadily as you go forward, to 6 layers wrapped around the leading edge and reaching back a foot or so. ?Every layer should wrap the leading edge, to help pick up the tension from the tiller torque and deliver it aft.
if for example your rudder reaches 30” aft, the if you leave one full layer of glass for last, the schedule preceding that could be:
one layer wrapping leading edge and reaching fully aft from pintles to trailing edge on both faces
one layer wrapping leading edge and reaching 24” aft on both faces
one layer wrapping leading edge and reaching 18” aft on both faces
one layer wrapping leading edge and reaching 12” aft on both faces
one layer wrapping leading edge and reaching 6” aft on both faces
then fair all that
then a final layer wrapping leading edge and reaching fully aft on both faces.
