Crew replaces rudder with cabin door

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Talk about being creative in a pinch.

Six men aboard a Russian yacht used a cabin door to help steer the crippled
vessel. It sailed -- limped, really -- into New Zealand's Wellington Harbor
on Friday after a month at sea with the makeshift rudder.


How funny. I got a 44' skiff home from 80 miles off-shore, by rigging
a toilet seat cover as a rudder back in '79.

Its a small world.
