[quote=HULLFLYER]I normally let them kick up when I hit the beach. You can lift them up before but it takes some practice and its not real easy to do. You have to face aft and pull hard on the pull up line and then pull again and hold and moving through the water helps the rudder to the up position. When I raced P-16's we would raise the windward rudder in real light conditions, not sure if it really helped, but it looked like we knew what we were doing. In the previous post when I said it would require some pressure to unlock the rudder I meant grabbing the rudder by hand on the bottom and jerking it until it released, not by using the pull up line.
