I figured you knew what they were but was not familiar with the terms. One of the oddities about American rudder terminology is that in my life it has changed pretty dramatically. Back in the 1960's, both skeg hung and post hung rudders were called spade rudders. Today it seems that a lot of folks consider only post-hung rudders to be spade rudders.
