Just for the log After 15 years of believing my kayak didn´t need a rudder, this year I had a couple of experiences when I wish I had one ( I don´t think it a matter of the kayak, other than me getting older, fatter, not in proper shape, end so, easily getting tired. Anyway I needed it ). So I decided to make one. It is similar to the Perception but with a different comand. And being aware of the comand cable could be a problem, I prefered to use a rope called SPECTRA (in Argentina). This rope is the one used for parachutes. It has a kevlar core and if it expands, I really don´t noticed it. The cords slides through a rubber tube as long as it is operationally possible. I´m really happy with its behavior. Cheers !
