The ship has sailed on too clever. So, box in a removable cassette mounted from below with a kick-up "rope" deployment. I'll have to think about setting up a new account that will allow me to post photos.

But, you know, as Rob says: Certain conditions. A few times a year, depending on the year. It's loose enough tracking to go wherever I want most of the time, but when you're paddling with a group going slow and spinning yourself on top of every wave to get just the right angle so you don't broach when everyone else is paddling skeg-down without a care puts a toll on the group, and in following chop I ameliorate the issue by paddling faster, whereas a lot of the people I paddle with just bob along no matter what. Difficult for me to stay with the group either way.

But- as I sit here swamped with work... we will see what happens.
