[Rhodes22-list] Move to a centralized motor

[Jim Richardson]

Hi All,

 

Is there anymore information on this subject?

THE RUDDER

With the move to a centralized motor, the rudder system is undergoing an
interesting new design.  Therefore this window, describing the current
rudder parts and features, is being left out for now.

We can mention that the tiller(s) (hint) lift so you can sail sitting or
standing.  A hiking stick stands ready in its tiller lock.  Rotating its
control knob allows adjusting its length so you can sail from any position
in the cockpit.  Port and starboard stern rail locks, that hold the hiking
stick whenever you do not want to, and the control knob on the end of the
stick, allow you to lock onto your wanted course so that if you are sailing
solo, you can go below for more pressing matters.  At days end you can lock
the tiller to keep the rudder from thru-the-night gyrating.  

Thanks,

Jim R.
