Best Answer

Screw race is the additional flow past the rudder that is cause by the propeller turning at a faster speed than the vessel is moving through the water. This allows a vessel to turn more effectively when this is occuring. Ex. A vessel is stopped and the engines are put ahead while the rudder is hard over. The flow over the rudder will turn the vessel.
