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?
