I was charged $375 for the Seal Line rudder and after some discussion on this list it seemed possible that I was over charged. I called Seal LIne and they said a new rudder system was $250. I called the shop where I purchased the rudder and asked them about the discrepancy. They called Seal Line and today they called me and said there was an error in the price, and I would be receiving a refund of $125. I looked at their price sheet and it was very confusing so I understood how the error was made. The shop has always treated me well, and they followed up promptly as I requested. So a big thank-you for the comments. For the record the blade extends about 8 inches above the deck and the pivot point is 4 inches below the deck (Solstice GTS). At the Sea kayak symposium I tried the CD extreme, and I really enjoyed paddling it. It was more manueverable than the Solstice GTS, was extremely fast with very good secondary stability. The boat tracks really well (seems to be a CD trade mark). On another topic has anyone used the Trekker Tarp by Walrus. In January I'm headed to Baja for a couple of weeks of paddling and I wanted to take it (and a ground cloth) in lieu of a tent. I like the idea of a tent and tarp all in one. -- MZ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
