: My wife has had her new Guillemot out on the water for the third time and
: seemed to be getting better at handling the somewhat loose tracking for
: the first half of the paddle (on flat water).
JJ - Read your post yesterday, and the responses. Same problem here, I built a Guilly, wife liked it, I paddle my old Carolina. Anyway, she had the same tracking problem, loves the boat, can't keep it on course. I read the 'skeg' post by a responder, made an 18" x 1/4" skeg last night, hot glued it to the keel about 18" from the stern. She took it out today and it's a different boat... tracks like a train. I'm going to try setting it aft as much as possible, test again, then make a permanent one to glass on. Give it a try, it won't hurt the boat, the hot glue lasts about two hours in the water before it peels off. I just finished the fill coat on the hull of a Great Auk, we'll see who gets what when that goes in the water.....
