I just took my Pygmy Artic Tern out for a 2 week excursion and was very happy with its performance, but when I got even the slightest wind the stern would start going around. What really set it off was the combination of wind and waves. I had a 3 mile crossing in one area that was so bad that I had to canoe stroke on one side the whole way. My question is, would a skeg work as well as a rudder in these conditions, I know a rudder would work but I don't like the weight and my foot braces moving. Thanks,
