Agreed, less clutter and stuff to bring along, just a couple of quick paddle strokes and the tack is completed. I keep the paddle handy anyway. For that kayak of yours that is more difficult to tack with an aft mast - did you ever consider adding a fore strap-on maststep Not really on the K-1, just more stuff to bring along, it's easy to jibe or assist the tack with a paddle. When I replied earlier I was thinking of my Klepper A2 which is schooner-rigged.
