Comments:

1) I think this keeps in line with the Hobie Class.
2) Very common on uni rigs cats to keep the rig from bouncing around downwind and between races.
3) EZ-Lock rudder system ( new system ) is much harder to steer with one rudder up and I believe unsafe at time. Keeping the rudders down eliminates the disparity between systems and keeps it simple. Part of this has already been addressed with the tiller extension.



Tom, I think each of these should be a separate issue, with perhaps a short missive on the reasoning behind it.

I agree with all of these.
