As are other novices participating in this discussion group I am gathering information prior to buying a kit from CLC or Pygmy. Pygmy states that a rudder is not required on their boats whicle CLC seems to suggest that a rudder is required for their craft. What is the feeling of Pygmy and CLC owners is a rudder a requirement or not?
