rudder and keel damage

my 1988 38-200, hull # 276, was recently involved in a 3knot grounding. The bottom trailing edge of the rudder in a triangle measuring 2"x5" was damaged when the boat rocked back on the rudder. The boat is equipped with a shoaldraft keel, a winged keel, the left wing is bent upwards on the outboard trailing edge. Has anyone had a similar experience? What are some of the potential hidden problems ie bent rudder post, keel bolts bent, any ideas. How about repair options and concerns.

Thanks

Doug
