the rod hold-up hole stress plate is unnecessarily rivetted at the highest stress point of the tiller (where it meets the stock and is rivetted to it), and that's where my tiller broke when a guest skipper landed on it.
As you can see in the picture this issue has been solved with the carbon rudders. The hold-up bracket is now on the other end of the tiller near the connection to the crossbar.
