I saw this summer in Brittle Bay, on Skye, Scotland, a hard shell kayak of some sort, the yellow-green kayak in the foreground here: http://foldingkayaks.org/gallery/Skye%2C-Scotland%2C-2004/Folkay55 that had a neat system of twin skegs, that looked like mini-versions of leeboards, say 8" long, one each side, with a sturdy steel shaft connecting the two. I don't remember how they were operated, but they sure looked quite unjammable, and a friend in another kayak could most likely very easily unjam them, if it ever happened, as all the mechanics are on top of the kayak! Not very pretty, but heavy duty and simple!
