This is just a fine tuning system to balance the boat.

Ever seen an articulated rudder? Similar except that it's
controlled by a linkage to the rudder post that makes it
turn the same way as the rudder only a little bit further.
More efficient steering.

Using a trim tab just to offset the force on the rudder
blade from normal sailing doesn't make sense to me. It just
adds drag. It would be better to adjust the sails so as not
to have so much helm, or to add balance area to the rudder
blade forward of the pivot point (rudder post).
