I've found that regardless of boat type, you need a rudder. Do you have a rudder on it? If you do, and it is too small, you will still have the same problem. On my first boat, i had a rudder that was rather small, and i had the same problem. Bigger rudder, no problem. Hope this helps

: I have just launched my Gilemont kayak I spent the last few months building
: with great pleasure and when I paddled it it seemed to turn all to easy
: and really be hard to keep going strait. What advice would any of you
: experienced builders offer....

: Help please....
