Do you have any diagrams and/or pictures of your slip clutch device that you'd be willing to share? thanks, John S. On 10/22/2015 08:52 AM, Thomas Buzzi wrote:
... Since you also have a kickup rudder you might be interested in a piece of gear I devised to add a slip clutch to the line that holds the rudder blade in place while sailing and will only release if you hit something solid with the rudder, thus protecting your rudder attachment without having to resort to shear pins which are a pain to change out on the water after a grounding.
