Can anyone give me any details how Int. Canoe rudders are fitted to the boat and secured in place? Cheers... |

There's a daggerboard like slot which is slightly larger than the blade. This is filled with a sort of box which has the pivot through the middle with the tiller on the top and the blade on the bottom. You slide the whole assembly in like a daggerboard and the bottom of the box thing is flush with the hull skin.

That is what I thought - do you know if it is just slotted in or is there any means of securing it in place? |

They are fastened in place, but I can't recall how folk mostly do it, obviously I've never looked closely enough. |

I use a small door bolt to keep the cassette in place on my modern boat. My older boat has a Tufnol turnbuckle.

Some of the more recent designs have a stern hung rudder to cut out the complication. Have you noticed that they are small, that's becuase they don't have to penetrate the boundary between air and water, making them more efficient.
