Good to see others are thinking about rudder designs. Jim we have four
criteria for the rudders/daggerboard Jim Baltaxe The biggest negative about the hull hung rudders, well the mk 2
version, is they would be difficult to replace once the shear pins
broke. At the moment they are designed to 'break away' in the event of
a collision. You would then have to retrieve them from the end of the
attachment line and refit them with new shear pins. This may seem like
a big disadvantage but it will only happen in a catastrophic event
which would render any catamaran with a stuck and broken daggerboard at
best and a split hull and bent rudder shaft at worst.
