Re: [Paddlewise] [PaddleWise] Rudder mounting

I'm not sure about the SRS system either - that's why I was thinking a 
traditional rudder and the seperate HydroSkeg. I'll wait for more reviews of 
the SRS. Like you say, it could be a real problem if the fin malfunctioned 
in the rudder mode. Still, it's kind of neat to see these new developments - 
even if they are expensive.
