Success!
Took the Admiral out today in 1/2 metre waves and 15+ degrees of heel.
A totally different experience for her! She took both hands off her handholds!

)
3 foot length of stainless steel, bolted to a piece of lumber, held in place at the ends by a pair of bolts through 1/4" rudder gudgeons.

Re: heeling and height-challenged crew
Awesome! I wonder how many others with heel-averse admirals actually have the same problem? My wife loves sailing, but she's 5'10" and simply may never had this problem.
