Can anyone advise to the setting of twin rudders, should they have toe-in, toe-out (and by how much),or be parallel on a 12m twin engined, steel displacement cruiser.
Thanks, Lou

On my boat they have a slight toe in. All to do with the Akermann angle I believe, as the outer rudder has further to travel than the inner one when turning.
