Abstract A boat includes a planing hull, a propeller, a main rudder, and a pair of flanking rudders. The planing hull has port and starboard sides, a transom, a hull bottom, and a centerline running down the middle of the boat, halfway between the port and starboard sides. The propeller is positioned forward of the transom and beneath the hull bottom. The main rudder is positioned aft of the propeller. The main rudder has a rotation axis about which the main rudder rotates. The flanking rudders are positioned forward of the propeller. One of the flanking rudders is positioned on the port side of the centerline, and the other flanking rudder is positioned on the starboard side of the centerline. 8874564_1 (GHMatters) P105402.AU 312 .,-310a 322 320a 210 ,-330a 310 320 332 334 410s 420s 410- -------/ /--------------- 14404 336 330b 330 114 336 330c 316 310b 310 3 6 _2_ _ _ 2 2 6 -- --- - -- "202 34320c 320b 320 324 420 ,J 326 420p 410p - -- ~342
