push vs pull vis a vis rudders
you are correct, the "back of the boat" (i.e. rudder) moves to starboard.
If we turn the rudder to port, the water being pushed back by the prop strides the port side of the rudder (and NOT the starboard side) and the boat moves starboard. Except when examined with a high powered light and magnifying glass, that statement is just plain wrong. One *could* make a case that the stern moves to starboard when the rudder is hard aport, but the "boat" itself will move to port because of the headway. |
