I did it twice on a 19 Westerly Nimrod oh so many years ago.
Rudder popped off and was lost. Outboard would not start. Crew (friends) near panic -- OOhhh what are we going to do.......Oh Oh.....
Easy on that boat.
Just sailed it back and picked up the rudder.
Lucky it floated.
CE and heel angle - two sheets in hand - and a little dancing.
I used to practice docking without the motor.
Many with me could not figure me out.
Still can't I suppose.
Good for you to practice.
