after a great friday evening on my c-22 Ripple i awoke to a violent storm at about 5 in the morning, the anchor seemed to be holding just fine and despite blinding rain and wicked lightning all seemed just grand,however i awoke saturday morning to find my tiller and rudder MISSING!!!I also noticed i had been blown a little closer to shore...my only guess is that when were blown in, the rudder was caught on the bottem pushed up and off the mounting hardware...Would this piece float? Catalina direct has rudders on backorder for 4 weeks!(hell it will be damn near fall by then!) If this piece sank it might be sitting in about 4 feet of water...just wondered if anyone has tested the sink or float theory with c-22 rudders..PS anyone have an extra rudder????
