Did you read my post earlier in this thread? Flying in the wind? Really? If you want to store the rudders in the sand when stored, simply pull the pull down line and lock it in. I always did this when beached over night. Actually dug the sand a little to let the rudders sit in. Works flawlessly.

Philip, apparently I was blinded by the beautiful view of those cats and missed the second part of your answer. :-? I was trying to avoid keeping the tension on the rudder line when not in use. Now, on the second thought the cost of the line is nothing compared to possible rudders or gadgeons damage from the surf when landing on the beach. That makes sense now. :-O

I installed PIV-matics and 2 line system on my SolCat18 2 years ago and yesterday I ordered 2 extra cleats to install on this N5.0. The system is not perfect but works.
What do you use to prevent tiller bars digging into back side of rudders in up position?[/quote]
