: I believe an additional folding skeg would stop the twirl (yaw?) movement on
: every paddlestroke.

The ones I used could spin on a dime. Even if I was trying to go straight they would spin.

I was thinking of putting a series of runners on the bottom of the yak. This may give a 2 fold affect. Better canvas protection during launches & landings and hopefully improved tracking.
