What ship with triangular sails and a steering rudder that could be sailed into the wind?
No boat can sail directly into the wind of course, but some can come closer to it than others. Any boat for fore-and-aft rigging can sail reasonably well close to the wind -- far better than square-riggers. Sloops in particular (fore-and-aft rigged with a mainsail and foresail or headsail) can get up as high as 38 degrees or so -- or even slightly higher. Cutters, two-master boats, and catboats don't do quite as well.

What was stern rudder?
The stern rudder is a type of steering device located at the rear (stern) of a ship, which allows for more effective maneuverability compared to earlier steering methods like the side rudder. It became prominent during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, significantly improving navigation and vessel control. The design contributed to the development of larger ships that could sail more efficiently across oceans. This innovation played a key role in the expansion of maritime trade and exploration during that era.
How do you use rudder in a sentence?
The torpedo damaged the Bismark's rudder, bending it sideways so the huge battleship could only turn in circles.
What is rudder arrestors?
Rudder arrestors, also known as rudder limiters or rudder stops, are devices used in aviation to prevent excessive movement of an aircraft's rudder. They help ensure that the rudder does not exceed its designed range of motion, which could potentially lead to structural damage or loss of control during flight. By limiting the rudder's deflection, these systems enhance safety and stability, particularly during critical phases of flight such as takeoff and landing.

36 is a triangular number. The formula for the nth triangular number is, n(n + 1)/2. So, 36 is the 8th triangular number : 8 x 9/2 = 36

If you have plenty of fluid it could be the power steering pump itself going bad or it could be the rack and pinion assembly.
