In Response To: Strip: Redfish King skeg/rudder? (Christian Grejsen)

I would say that the thought of a rudder on a King makes me shudder! I am not aware of anyone who has built a skeg/rudder for the King. One of the reasons I demoed and am building the King is that it doesn't need a skeg/rudder, like many other great designs out there. And, I consider myself a paddler with beginners skills. When I demoed the King, I had no thought of it needing a skeg/rudder AND it surely wasn't my advanced paddling skills that helped me to navigate the King!

So, no need to worry. You have chosen a beautifully designed boat. And, a fun boat to build.
Enjoy....
