The sternpost rudder significantly improved maritime navigation and control by providing greater maneuverability and stability to ships. Its placement at the rear of the vessel allowed for easier steering and better handling in rough waters compared to earlier rudder designs. This innovation facilitated more efficient sailing, reduced the skill required to operate a ship, and ultimately contributed to advancements in trade and exploration during the Age of Sail. As a result, it played a crucial role in enhancing maritime travel and commerce.

because if the sails didn't work you would still have the rudder in the back and you would have to control it another way

Why rudder is not fitted forward of ship?
Every vessel has a pivot point or center where it turns the best. The stern of a vessel would be hard to control if the rudder was at the bow. When docking, if the rudder was at the bow, you would never be able to get the stern of the vessel to the dock. Once you got the bow to the dock or pier, there would be no way to control the stern to make it swing. Once the bow is at the dock, with the rudder at the stern, the force of water passing across it from the propeller will push the stern into or away from the dock relative to the angle of the rudder.
