So this leaves several failure modes - rudder falling off, post separating
inside rudder, and post bending and jamming rudder. I wonder what the
frequency of failure is for the various types of rudders.


Why not ask Joe. He's the expert on rudder failure. Bwahahhahahahah. Who
would have thought a poorly designed rudder would sink a steel boat?
