REALLY dumb question

[clayp]

What is the benifit of putting the rudder "amidships"..?.....:oops:

[VonBlade]

Amidships merely means on the centreline of the boat. Not actually "in the middle of the ship".

So, obviously, it's better to put it in the centre so it can manouver the vessle easily, rather than off to one side.
edit So to put the rudder amidships is to go straight ahead.

Who needs a rudder!....

I once heard that all you need is a strong wind at your back and a star to steer by.
