[Public-list] Rudder cracked

[Jonathan Whittingham]

Dear Listers,
                  How exactly is the rudder connected to the pipe that 
runs up to the helm? Mine seems to be attached to two deep flanges that 
are bolted to the cheeks of the rudder. If that is all that holds the 
thing in place, could one perhaps simply unbolt the flanges and slip the 
rudder out without having to dig a pit under the whole thing? Regards 
Jonathan.
