A few years ago I did the ETC sponsored race around Angel Island in a rented
Sea Lion without a rudder.  It was fine till the wind came up.  Then the
course correcting and paddling on one side slowed me way down.

While on the subject of rudders and everyone braggin' about not using   them
(yawning with tongue firmly planted in cheek), I was wondering if anyone   out
there paddles a Sea Lion without a rudder.

Cheers,
Dave

My first kayak was a rudderless Sea Lion. I don't recall it ever
needing a rudder, but after a while it became just about impossible
to find a new Sea Lion that didn't have one.
