Joel: Lines to outboard end of the pole would be a big help. The other issue I heard was with the plywood in the water the pole would twist. A friend lost his rudder in a Hawaii race. He said the pole and plywood was uncontrollable. In later offshore races he used a metal framework that mounted to the boat with pintals and goudgens. The frame contained a cassette that a rudder would slide into. Trying to mount a rudder in a big sea without the cassette was virtually impossible.

Does that seem any more feasible? I can't imagine trying to use the short end of the pole as a tiller - there is no leverage.

The lever arm of the pole out the back of the boat would overwhelm the control lines to the winches. The pole out the back of the boat had to be quite long to reach the water. That left a short part of the pole to secure to the winches. The boat would not go upwind and the following sea downwind pushed the pole around. The bigger the piece of plywood the harder it was to control.

One is a removable transom mount with a tiller. The other method is to attach a large piece of plywood or an old rudder to the spinnaker pole with U bolts and lash the pole to the backstay. The "rudder" is controlled with lines running from its trailing edge to snatch blocks and then to the winches. Old J24 rudders seems to be somewhat common on EBay.
