I would highly recommend getting a "rudder auto-release cleat" from APS as I've described many times before. If your board is cleated to a cam cleat in the down position and you hit ground with your board, the cleat will break by snapping in half or will be pulled out of the cneterboard trunk and launched over the bow. See http://bbs.trailersailor.com/forums/harpoonarchives/index.cgi/read/3174 for details. This works great and many of us have switched to it.
