ABSTRACT:
A kick-up rudder mechanism for small, tiller-steered sailboats. The rudder has a two-position pivot that allows the rudder to kick up and drop back down automatically when it hits and then clears an underwater obstacle; to be raised and lowered manually with fore-and-aft motion of the tiller; and to be secured against unwanted kick-up with a vertically releasable fore-aft locking connection between the tiller and the rudder housing.
