I have this rudder assembly in my  5 year old Baldwin.  At the time my boat
was built, four of the kayak models available from Baldwin were offered
with an optional toe controlled rudder installed on adjustable foot braces.
 Baldwin Boat Company is a small kayak maker in Orrington, Maine.  I'm not
sure about their current product line.
