: What about the Prijon? Seems like an elegant design-too small?

: Anyone use an OnoPaddles rudder? They're carbon fiber and nice

: Anyone use enough different types to say it doesn't matter which

: Minicell foam seats seem OK, anyone have a rotating seat? My

: don't do three hour paddles.
: I plan to build flat foot pads with hinges for rudder at the top

: Adjustment will be a couple of 3/4" table saw type channels.

Hi Will,
If you're going to build a race boat, should have race boat parts. I don't see the point in a long very skinny boat and then have foot braces that you can't push on. Gas pedal foot braces or a tiller like the K1's use to me would be the way to go.
Don't need a very big blade, you'll be paddling at a reasonable speed makes a smaller blade more effective. Heck the antique K1 I tested last summer steered fine on flat water and the rudder might have been 6 square inches total.
