<p>I used a simple overhand knot for our lashings. It worked fine.</p>

I used a figure of eight knot, but I think the rope I used has Dyneema in its core, the outer layer could be polyester (I used Gleistein ropes). The lashings are still ok after 9 years.

Hi Björn,<br />
How did you knot the ends of the dyneema? I was reluctant to use as the dyneema is so slippery and concerned they would slip.<br />
I need remove (again) and then strip the rudders back to wood and see…

<p>After over 50,000 miles and 12 years, Peace IV's rudder lashings still look brand new. We heavily coated the over large holes with thickened epoxy and then coated them again and again and then checked to be sure they ended up the size indicated by the design. There is no sign of rot. </p>
<p>We used very low stretch line for the lashings and did them as per design. We tied the lashings as tight as we could and then put 5200 into the holes to keep them in place. Nev did not approve of the…</p>

<p>We used very low stretch line for the lashings and did them as per design. We tied the lashings as tight as we could and then put 5200 into the holes to keep them in place. Nev did not approve of the nylon to nylon rubbing surface for our Tiki 46 rudder where the design shows a little perch for the rudder at the bottom. He thought nylon to nylon would not be as good as nylon to stainless. So he put stainless sheet on one of the surfaces and it all looks brand new there. </p>
<p>I have always put antifoul on the lashings below the water and nothing on the lashings above the water. </p>
<p>The rudders have always functioned well and never come out of alignment, or given us any bother at all. They look cool.</p>
<p>Glad to hear you are at the rudder stage! Send more pics of nearly finished boat.</p>

Just to clarify.<br />
Our rudders touched and scraped bottom after our ropes stretched during strong winds.
