No rudder. Hi Bob, I'm thinking that either a Necky Looksha Sport (14'), or Necky "Santa Cruze" (12') might be about right. I've not paddled a Santa Cruze, but I have paddled a Sport. It was the first kayak I ever sat in, and it was fun and very stable. The Santa Cruze is the length you mentioned, and I'm sure it's terribly stable as well. The Sport that I paddled did have a rudder, but I'm sure you could get it without the rudder if you want. I can think of a reason or two why you may want to consider a Looksha Sport instead of a Santa Cruze...rock gardens and sea caves! A plastic Looksha Sport could be just about perfect for that type of paddling...so you could use it even when you don't have guests! -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
