A cheap a cheerful solution is just to weld an equal angle, say 11/2
inch on the the trailing edge of a flat plate rudder, as done by many fishing boats. Try it with a tiller and gauge effect. Schilling rudders are not good at making sternway. On my own vessel, I got heavily into schilling rudders but eventually, after lengthy discusions with the vessels designer of many beers, went for a conventional NACA profile, which still has 70 - 0 - 70 rudder arcs. Turning performance hard over at rest is pretty good, but would be better had I had top and bottom plates added to direct/contain the propwash. |
