    Thanks Roy. I will take a couple of clips apart and see if I can match the words and music.

    RoyCV - Guess I am a bit muzzy this morning, but I can't understand what you are describing. Your photograph shows 6 unmodified clips, right?

    📝 Boat storage case

    Depends on what you mean by "boat storage/transport case". The range is from lightweight & simple to keep dust out when on the shelf, to bulletproof professional joinery for airlines handling. Somewhere in between I have seen examples of cases, with for example hand cut dovetails, that were intended in some large degree to show off the woodworking skills of the maker.

    📝 Weight/ballast

    I've used shot - #12 bird shot as I recall. Put suitable weight of shot in a plastic baggie, pour in just enough West System epoxy to cover all the pellets, and set in its final resting place for ballast inside the hull. It will harden in place and the baggie can be removed for storage when not sailing.

    White metal is about the cheesiest material one could use for a component, like a rudder, that will experience strain. roycv is exactly right: make your own, wood or brass.
