The red blocks represent the rudder stops. The hydraulic cylinder has a 12\u201d\/300mm stroke, and this has to work with a \u201ctiller\u201d that gets us the 80 degree hard over to hard over range. It has to do so without binding. And the cylinder base must be connected to something extremely strong.<\/p>\n<p>With the geometry established, Kelly and the engineers can get on with the detailing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rudder control steering geometry is one of those things which looks simple, but is actually quite difficult to get right. <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/rudder-angle-geometry\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30254,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,180,177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dashew-blog","category-fpb-78","category-three"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30248"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30248"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30558,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30248\/revisions\/30558"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
