Well, she ain't rigged, so I'd guess in the cabin? Or the back of your (pickup) truck?

Mon safran est déposé dans le cockpit, il fait la même hauteur que la quille et je ne veux pas qu'il tape a marée basse avec le clapot.

My rudder is put down in the cockpit, it makes the same height as the keel and I do not want that it bangs at every tide with the lapping.
Sorry !

I replaced my rudder with a rudder that swings up. That are sold on this forum. I didn't like the banging also.

That is so cool! I've never seen a rudder like that before. A word of caution: Never lubricate the gas strut with WD-40. Also, make sure that the blade is all the way down when you're sailing along. I like the way that rudder is designed. It's different, that's for sure.
That's a Ruddercraft Rudder

I'm wondering if Rudy buys Ruddercraft tillers for D&R Marine. The pic on D&R for my 192 tiller looks about the same as the laminated tiller on Ruddercraft's site.
I tie off the rudder on my Boston Whaler Harpoon 4.6, because I don't trust the spring clip that's SUPPOSED to prevent it popping out of the gudgeons in the event of a capsize. If I didn't leash it, and I lost the rudder, the heavy aluminum headstock would take my nice NACA foil to the bottom, and I'd be buying a Ruddercraft... Not looking for that expense - a section of utility cord to the transom mooring ring is cheap insurance!

So far, my tether has been just fine. It's quick enough to tie a bowline in it. I take the rudder off all the time, because I dry sail the Harpoon, so a pin might be a bit more bother. In all honesty, I haven't had a problem with the spring clip holding the rudder in. In fact, this past summer, I used the boat to teach a capsize class for the club. I had her over several times, some on the way to a turtle, and one very definitive total inversion on purpose. I never saw any evidence that my spring clip was going to let the rudder come out of the gudgeons. Still, in a real capsize scenario, things are likely to be a bit more unexpected and vigorous, shall we say, so my little length of cord keeps me happy!
The spring loaded kick up design of a Ruddercraft rudder seems very nice, and will get the whole blade up out of the water. Certainly much better than my stock uphaul line which doesn't quite get it all the way out of the water until there are no people in the boat.
I'm surprised the rudder on my 192 doesn't have an uphaul line. I think I shall have to rig one this summer. There really isn't too much thin water where I sail at the lake, and no place particularly suited to beaching, but I like the idea of more control that an uphaul brings
