--Not 100% applicable but close enough. A friend is an Olympic level sprint kayaker and her boats all have small rudders on them... Joe P. Subject: [Paddlewise] Rudder drag ..If I am competing in a flat water race, is it worth not using my rudder for a 7.5 mile course? My gut tells me that keeping drag to a minimum will save me a little time. I am a 63 year old who wants to better his time in a race I did two years ago. I own a QCC 500 and want every bit of help I can get. I appreciate all wisdom/comments. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
