No, which kayak did Freya use in NZ? I know Chris Duff used a rudderless and skegless Nigel Dennis Explorer to circumnavigate the South Island. I'm sure either device might have helped him at times but he didn't want the complications they added. I wanted to ask Freya how many rudder cables she went through (or repaired) but given my well known bias on the subject I didn't. Some kayaks have far more need for a rudder or skeg than others so how the kayak handles weather cocking and broaching should enter into the paddlers choice. > From: pdh_at_mmcl.co.nz > ....It is interesting that Freya did our South Island in 2007/8 in a rudderless > kayak and then went ruddered for Australia.
