Westerly 22 rudder design

In the spring of 2009 our Westerly 22 lost its rudder to drying out on a very uneven sandbank in very uneven weather. At the spring lift out it was obvious even to an inexperienced sailer that a crucial part was missing. Luckily with the outboard is was still possible to steer her to the lift out position.
