Is the standard cleat used on the rudder head a LANCE cleat?
is it supposed to be in line with the control line of the rudder or
off on an angle? I have a pict I took at GB with the lance cleat
but I seem to not understand how this lance cleat is going to give
way if the rudder blade hits something??
I am using a jam cleat and I know I have to change to something that
will act as a clutch and let the control line out if I ground the
rudder on a shoal.
