You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Great example of why boats with wide sterns should be sailed almost flat. Look at that rudder.

Your boat is heeled so far that the bow is down and the rudder is about to be levered out of the water. That is because the stern is fairly wide and the boat doesn't heel on its fore and aft axis. As it heels the stern lifts and eventually the rudder comes out of the water. That is why boats with that shape like to be sailed fairly flat for best performance and handling. Many newer boats shaped like yours have twin rudders just so that the low one stays in the water when heeled. An older, narrower boat doesn't lever its rudder out like yours does and they can be quite comfortable and faster (they gain waterline length) as they heel.

Plumper, I understood you, and got what you meant.
That is why I showed the long rudder, because my boat has a very low free board, so with little effort the rais gets under. And the bow isn't down, it does like lik so in that photo, but its far from digging in.
As far as the twin rudders..I don't know what you mean by newr boats, my boat is fairly new, its 1 and half years old now...and I don't want 2 rudders, never did. The twin rudder concept is quite old, not a feature of newer boats.
It all depends on what and how the boat is sailing and the arquitect that concieved the hull. She sails and moves even at 30º heel. And the rudder does show. no problem. Mind you, she never sails that heeled, as in the photo, but if she does, she has a different attitude of other boats.

Ummm Giu...obviously you are out of date already. Time to trade in the boat for this new 40' footer!
No Bimini on this one!!

I don't have a bimini either, I have a dodger, and if look carefully, look at teh sides of that boat in your photo, near the transom..straight up, not round.
I like that boat though. Its's an Owen Clarke 40. If you see the boat in real life it has 2 very small rudders, and the transom sits higher in the water, not as low as mine

He uses a teflon-based bottom paint by Jotun that isn't distributed in the USA, IIRC.
