:Still, I do like rudders on a long camping trip.

Good point, ... I see the Bluefin as a play boat for day paddles, and that is most of what I have done and expect to do.

The rudder not working efficiently because it comes out of the water is another good thought and reminds me of a ferry trip from Bergen, Norway to Newcastle, England on which I could feel the screws coming out of the water.
