The Barke® flap rudder is the solution for any vessel requiring high manoeuvrability combined with proven fuel savings.

With its progressively rotating flap, the Barke® rudder generates high lift forces at large rudder angles and low drag (resistance) at small rudder angles.

The enclosed linkage system of the Barke® rudder provides overload protection and eliminates the entry risk of sand, ice and floating objects. These are ideal characteristics for fishing and research vessels, and dredgers.
