    What is rudder set back?

    I assume its the distance from the transom to the rudder. What does this distance affect, particularly on a cat?

    Yes. it does refer to the distance between the transom and the rudder blades leading edge.
    What deifference does it make? I'd like to know too. Anyone?

        I know that most gas cats turn better with very little rudder setback. Most monos run better with allot of rudder setback. I could not tell you why that is..... I just know it to be true in the gas world...
