Docking a Dual Rudder Sailboat
Docking a Dual Rudder Sailboat Dual rudders, also referred to as twin or double rudders, are becoming more and more common in modern sailboats, both cruising and performance yachts alike.

Twin Rudder Steering Systems

Wells, who owns and sails an old-style Hallberg-Rassy with a long keel and skeg-protected rudder, said: 'We all know spades can fall off.

Travelling with twin rudders: what you need to know
Two rudder blades are widely used and can also be found on smaller and smaller yachts. What are the advantages and disadvantages? And what do owners need to know?
Q&A, Coming Alongside (Docking) With Twin Rudders
But with twin-rudder single-screw boats, we are robbed of the benefits of prop wash over the rudder (the more powerful and important of the two) leaving us with just prop walk, and I'm guessing less of that than a single-rudder boat will have.
Twin Rudders For Blue Water Cruising
Having been a proponent of twin rudders for well over a decade Rob Humphreys and the team at HYD has good experience with the arrangement through a range of boat types, from the rather esoteric world of Open 60s and Volvo 70s through to moderately heavy cruising yachts. Our knowledge of what to do and how to do it has been partly theoretical, partly intuitive, and - through feedback from our ...
The Importance of Tuning the Rudders on Your Boat
Same with a twin-screw boat—in turns, the inboard rudder should be cranked over just a little bit more than the outer rudder. But the wheels on a car, and the rudders on most multi-engine boats, are connected with a tie bar, so how can the steering angles be different for each wheel/rudder?
the secret of high performance with control
OCD's twin rudder moderate beam low rocker hulls are designed to allow a yacht of relatively light displacement to exit displacement mode earlier, begin semi and full planing earlier while maintaining maximum waterline length with minimum drag in the process.
How rudder design affects your yacht's handling
The three rudder options we offer We offer three rudder options. The first is a single, partially balanced spade rudder with a skeg for added protection. This is the standard setup on all our fin-keel yachts and also on the twin-keel versions.

CASe StuDY As more and more boat designers go for twin rudders, Hamble School of Yachting's James Pearson takes a look at how this thoroughly modern configuration requires their handling under power to be treated slightly differently.
Close quarters maneuvering with twin rudders?
A few years back was the first time I encountered such a beast with twin rudders and saildrive. We drove it out and immediately found it didn't steer as expected. The local maintenance guy who drives and docks these boats all day was happy to explain and demonstrate how a bit of speed was quite necessary.
Oyster 595
The Oyster 595 bluewater cruiser is a well-proportioned, versatile 60 foot sailboat. This luxury Ocean cruiser for sale features space for eight guests, customised build solutions and a shallow-draft keel option.
When are two rudders necessary?
As the boat heels, the effective rudder area (the one which produces the side force) varies with the cosine (heel) law. On a single-rudder boat the variation is negative (less lateral area with heel). On a twin-rudder boat with rudders angled outwards by 15°, the lateral area increases with heel.
