Re: Rudder angle
So your saying it should be quite vertical when under way , so that would also help with side stability like the centre board ?

Rudder angle
Good evening all,
Whilst out in the Otter I noticed that the rudder does not stay in a vertical stance when on the move , is this correct or do I need stronger elastic to pull it down .
I know wood is its own buoyancy .
Regards

Re: Just bought an Otter.

Re: New Otter Dinghy
Hi Roger , well done for getting an Otter . I don't know an awful amount about these boats as I've only just finished restoring mine and only been out in it twice . From looking at your pictures I can see either I've got my mast foot wrong or there are more options , as mine sits fully on that plate...

Re: masthead bouyancy
Hi Dave ,
I would like like to know the answer to this question also as yesterday I too had a capsize and the mast got stuck in the mud , we were lucky as there were two of us to get the boat up again but it was quite a struggle .
Regards

Craig had the helm for the first hour...

Center board
Sorry another question ,
how is the center board held in the down position , mine has a rop on the end of the "handle" .
For transporting I have put a bungy over it and to the deck hold for the toe strap but how do i keep it in the down position ?
