It's worth knowing that in a bind you can fashion a rudder out of a line and a bucket.

- callamdelaney 3y agoYes, the first line of the article. The rudder on the yacht fell off, so they were towed. In the middle of the pacific, the likelihood of a tow is low. In that case, you can fashion a rudder out of a line and a bucket.
