Default Seamanship Question #25

If you have lost your rudder, what can you
use to steer the vessel besides it's sails.


One of Boobsie's Ebay paddles?


Say for example you have a tack you have to
make, or risk running aground. What can
you do to positively insure you get the bow
through the eye of the wind?


You could aim the speakers of your entertainment center to
the fore leeward quarter, and play Megadeath Live at full
volume. The sound would bounce off the approaching shore and
push the head of the vessel around.
