Joe,
The hose clamps will slide off in the event of a catastrophic event. Don't  
ask me how I know.

Thanks for the advice & photo.  I may elect to  simply tie a safety line on 
the 
rudder assembly.  I hadn't considered  the possibility of tearing off the 
brackets when running aground.  I  am looking at a marina at Hack's 
Point...pretty far up.  My buddy has  a boat there, and I've noted that it 
is a 
long sail to the bay.  I  will not put her in until the spring of 2012, so 
lots 
of time to  consider.  I hope to be able to meet lots of Rhodes people up  
there.

Hi Joe,

We use a  stainless hose clamp on the pin.

Before you decide where to keep your  boat, I'd strongly suggest you 
look a little further south. The northern  Elk River is shallow and 
full of powerboat traffic. There are some nice  marinas on the Bohemia 
but daysailing would be limited to the Bohemia and  Upper Elk. When we 
first started sailing we used to sail out of Elk Neck  State Park but 
soon looked for a place further south to keep the boat. The  Sassafras 
has some nice marinas but a long motor to get out to the bay. We  
sailed out of the Middle River for a while but then moved over to the  
Eastern Shore. There are good marinas at Worton, Tolchester and Rock  
Hall. Even Rock Hall is less than 2 hours from center city  
Philadelphia. In any event welcome back.
