Hi Rudolf,
writing from our new armchair instead of slicing timber for making moulds for the rudder shafts, I kept coming back to the leeboard. I have wracked my brains and can't really see any reason not to go that way. It could be trialled by lashing the spare rudder to the leeside right at the centre. It would certainly be consistent with the history of boats in the region. It would fit with my understanding of the forces though my understanding needs to be taken with a grain of salt: these interactions between air and water have fooled me more than once.
