[Rhodes22-list] Where did the rudder go?

[b.ivers at att.net]

  I was noticing that except for a rope that ties off to a nearby cleat, the rudder hangs on to two supports like a gate hangs onto a post. The rudder is quite heavy. I just wanted to be sure I am not overlooking something. It does not lock on or is pinned or anything else.
  It is is hinged so it can be drawn up out of the water when launched from a trailer or moored while in the water.
  The mast is my next challenge. My wife and I raised it in the yard and realized we are not going to survive this without a mast hoist crane. The mast is still up and is going to stay up until I am sure I have enough help to lower without dropping it on my head. Or someone elses head.               Barry & Joyce  CC NV.
