Default Lowering the stab on a four star 40

You can also lower the aerodynamic center of the rudder itself - decrease the chord at the top and increase it at the bottom - the Cap series is an extreme example.

You could also truly lower the vertical fin and rudder, decrease the vertical fin height and add a subfin, then lower the rudder to match.
