The Rudder by D Hackett

When the Nina was built, there was no ships wheel to steer the ship with. Instead The Nina is steered by a rudder with a tiller. A rudder is a flat board that hangs from the back of the boat, attached to the tiller (handle) that is used to turn it.

When the tiller is moved to one side, the rudder moves and the force of water flowing over the rudder causes the boat to turn. You must push the tiller in the opposite direction that you want to turn.

The interesting thing about the Niña's tiller is that you can't see where you are going when operating it. That makes it necessary to have a lookout at the bow.
