Balanced ruddera rudder in which the turning stock is not on the leading edge but close to the rudders centre of pressure; about one-quarter abaft of the leading edge; since the center of pressure shifts as the rudder is turned no rudder can be fully balanced for all rudder angles; hence a rudder is considered balanced when it can maintain so for about 15 degrees
