Heh-heh. Thanks for the great explanations.

One question I still have for Dog is...when you say that the JSD negates the need for active steering of the boat...what's happening at the helm to protect the rudder? Assuming you don't have AH - do you lash the wheel/tiller to protect it from the scenario AL lays out above?
Dont have experience with the jsd - but always lash tiller/ lock wheel [with some give]

Keep a safe boat, do all the right stuff and when you gotta do the praying/kissing thing, go below and wait it out - no lee shores...
Thats the risk you accept when you head off!!
