A rudder system includes a pivotable rudder part, a rudder housing, on which the pivotable rudder part is rotatably mounted, and a resilient locking device. The pivotable rudder part is movable relative to the rudder housing from a pivoted-in position into a pivoted-out position. The resilient locking device is held in a pretensioned position by the pivotable rudder part when the pivotable rudder part is in the pivoted-in position such that, if the pivotable rudder part is in the pivoted-out position, the resilient locking device can be moved by tension relief from the pretensioned position into an at least partially tension-relieved position. In addition, the resilient locking device in the at least partially tension-relieved position blocks a movement of the pivotable rudder part relative to the rudder housing.

Rudder system

A folding fin system includes a fin root and an upper fin part that is rotatably borne on the fin root. The upper fin part may be moved relative to the fin root between an unfolded and a folded position, and wherein the upper fin part and the fin root may be locked relative to one another using a slot-and-key system when the upper fin part is in the unfolded position.
