Counter rudder

Counter Rudder is the parameter that counteracts the eﬀect of the boat’s turn rate and inertia.

For a short time period it is superimposed on the proportional rudder response caused by the

heading error. It may sometimes appear as if it tends to make the rudder move to the wrong

side (counter rudder).

The best way of checking the value of the Counter Rudder setting is when making turns. The

ﬁgures illustrate the eﬀects of various Counter Rudder settings.
