De Waal's 'standard rudder'. A no-nonsense, basic rudder with good sailing characteristics at a fair price. Hundreds of these Stuwa® Balance Rudders have already been built.
The Stuwa® balance rudder is ideal as a 'single rudder' at the heart of the propeller. But it can just as easily function in a 'two-rudder system'. Or as a 'four-rudder' for a twin-screw vessel. Your vessel is our starting point. We are happy to advise you on your rudder choice. Rudder dynamics
The balance rudder has the same mirrored and streamlined flow profile on both sides. It tapers to a sharply defined tip. This ensures optimal 'release' from the fast-flowing propeller water. The result? A smooth and vibration-free vessel.
The balance rudder can be fitted with narrow or wide upper and lower plates. Depending on the application and ship shape, we will work with you to determine the best solution.
