I'll second that opinion! I have been sketching my own rudder designs for a while now (not wanting to accept a hardware store on a nice wooden kayak) and had resigned myself to a retractable rudder. This piece of work is now causing me to reconsider the stern-mounted rudder due to its beautiful wood construction and appearance. Nice work! }} p.
