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.
