Water in rudders can plague any boat from any builder. The subject comes up regularly here, I note.
Another Ericson owner just provided a link to Eva Hollmann's great web site, where, among many other things, she has a nice show-and-tell section about water ingress into wind surfer boards and how to remove the water. The foam core technology is certainly not identical, but near enough to our water problems, perhaps, IMHO.
And, yes, she IS the yacht designer of some fine racing and cruising boats, 30 years ago. I thought the name sounded familiar...
Small world, after all.
