Does anyone have any thoughts/theories on the reason for extending the
prop aperture into the rudder when the rudder is hung off the back of a
long-keel.

I would imagine it would drastically reduce rudder efficiency, but
possibly allow more of the prop to receive undisturbed water when
backing-up.



Makes sense in front of the prop, but behind?
