The new epo rudders appear to be clear coated over a fiber weave in the catolog picture. My question is: Is that a thin "carbon look" graphic veneer applied or is it actually the hand laid fiberglass that's visible?

Hand laid carbon.

Sweet, those are definately on my wish list now. I've got old school epo's but those new ones have a total bling factor.

Better foil and trailing edge too. We digitized the old EPO and corrected a few problems with the old one.
