QuoteWith the rudders locked down in sailing position, measure the distance with a tape measure (normally takes two people) between the front edges and trailing edges.

Really good point. On my boat the rudders work best with 2-3 mm of toe-in. I got tired of having to mark the rudders with grease pencil every time I checked the measurement, so I have masked off the waterline on the rudders with tape and will paint a permanent pinstripe with which to measure.
