It was suggested that it would be better NOT to secure the
rudder in the gudgeons, as Rob and I have (by different
means) -- that it would be best to have the rudder
secured to the transom with a lanyard, etc. so it could
come up out of its fastenings if it were to bump bottom.
What's your (each person on the list) method:
[] To lock in or
[] to lash loosely or
[] do nothing special?
