Thanks Thanks much for the good advice. I'm "fortunate" that I sail at the bottom of Lake Michigan and can always see land so going off shore is not an issue. Since there's no play in the rudder and the rudder feels solid I think I'll follow Christian's advice and go sailing.

My 1973 E27 is a project. I have a couple of cracks in the rudder and I'm wondering whether it would be a big mistake to put it in the water this weekend and wait until fall to make the needed repairs.
