Chuck in Oregon did on his P19 in which the solid rudder slides up and
down in a welded metal 'jacket' with 3 different depths achievable with
a push-pin 'keeper' at each depth.

Can you point me to Chuck or some more information on his rudder
design. I think that kind of rudder would be fun -- particularly for
the Gunk Holing I am prone to do. I'd like to build one and put a small
electric outboard at the bottom. That way the rudder could be raised
almost totally out of the water and the outboard would still be down
there. It would also be a nasty trick to use in dead calm to befuddle
all the other folks sitting dead in the water since the motor wouldn't
be noticeable.... eh eh eh! stealth technology comes to the WWP.
I had great luck with the a tiny minkota (smallest they make) on my old
siren. Great for sneaking around and doing bird watching here on the
potomac.
