G'Day Kirby and Paddlewise,

I don't mind a rudder if its fixed well below the deckline as in the Mirage
and I think the Storm kayaks. But still remember the relief when i got rid
of my rudder, which was forever catching the wind unless I deployed it and
wasn't particularly effective as it didn't sit much below the water in
bigger following sea.

All the best, PeterO
