I don't know of any 2-piece _rudders_ (other than the wooden ones), but, 
as Michael mentioned the rudder _stock_ is 2-piece. The Whitby drawings 
that Michael contributed are on 
http://alberg30.org/maintenance/Steering/RudderPost/

Michael has just contributed some photos of construction details of his 
rudder, also. 
http://alberg30.org/maintenance/Steering/RudderVarieties/Checkmate220Rudder/ 
These show that the pins through the upper rudderstock are actually 
machine screws on Checkmate.

BTW, many people dig a hole to drop the rudder rather than lift the boat.
