Explanation:
'QUARTER RUDDER __ A.k.a. side rudder. Ships of antiquity had two side rudders. Nordic ships had one, placed on the starboard (right) side. During the middle ages all European ships slowly changed to using one stern rudder.'
http://www.archaeolink.com/glossary-q.htm

Een 'quarter rudder' wordt dus ook wel 'side rudder' genoemd.
Dit heet in het Nederlands een 'zijroer', zie bijv. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roer_(schip),
of 'stuurboordroer', zie bijv. http://www.vaartips.nl/tipz.htm

agree  TBVO: or just "boordroer"; not just Nordic ships had only one rudder; it was the very reason why the rudder side was called "starboard" and since ships couldn't come alongside in port at this rudder side the other side was called "port side".
