Rudder Forces

LiA and drag increase with

increasing rudder angle

Why does a rudder stall?

Prole Shape

Bulbous prole
High stall
High drag

Slim prole
Low stall
Low drag

Installa*on of anchors

The AHV pulls the mooring line

away from the rig

May need assistance from

another vessel to lower the
