48
Q

The important facts to know: for a right-handed screw turning ahead, the stern will tend to move to starboard (see Figure 10-7), and for a right-handed screw when backing, the stern will tend to move to port. For a left-handed screw (normally the port shaft on a twin-screw boat), the action is the opposite.
