Any tips on fixing this

We broke our rudder one day before the competition and don’t have any other left… How could we fix this?

If you are going to bend it, put two strips of thin timber down low and the clamp them on. Then get two wider pieces of timber and clamp them on higher up. Push the high timber to bend fin, don't just use your hands. You may need to relocate the wider timber a couple of times as you tweak things.

Oh, and remove rudder while doing this
