Rudder Angle

There should be none. The back of your rudder should sit parallel to the stern of your boat otherwise you will have terrible weather helm.

If you can’t keep the rudder from kicking up then you should bolt completely through your rudder and rudder head using a small diameter bolt or pin.

Measure your rudder angle while it is attached to your boat.

Centreboard

The Centerboard should fit snuggly in the CB trunk because its position (height,
angle) is key. Add electrical tape or packing tape to the inside of your CB trunk until
the Centerboard fits snuggly enough to stay put during sailing.

Appendix

"Purchase”
Susie only has to tug with 25 pounds of force using her purchase system to drag her 100
pound mule “Buttercup” into the barn. Note that her effort is reduced by a factor of 4 –
this purchase is “4:1”.
