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

Fred,
The ones I read about used lines attached to the trailing edge of the
rudder to turn the boat, with the spin pole essentially a vertical hinge
lashed to the backstay. 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
RE: Emergency rudder
Friends who have used plywood attached to the spin pole say it was
virtually impossible to control in anything but flat water. 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 b

1 beam reach in 15 knots never touch a sail trip out
1 light air drifter trip out

1 spinnaker trip back (of course THIS is the only one I missed! Arghhh)
1 VERY rough trip back. Set our noon-to-noon record on this one.
Odds are for light air more tha

If I decide to do it, I hope you'll consider coming aboard!

Hi Rich,

During reinstallation, use Nickel anti-seize or a marine-grade anti-seize. The

We have done 3 Annapolis-Bermuda races. It was cheaper back in the day, but you

Not only did we need a storm jib for the rules, we *needed it*. That poor thing

emergency rudders. 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 co
