[QUOTE="richg99, post: 254104, member: 4376"] I know, it isn't a tinny. I'll stop this craziness in a day or two! However, my original post about this "toy kayak" (MANTA 10) brought a couple of comments about the need for a skeg or rudder. So...this morning, I cobbled together the rudder/skeg shown below. I used a broom stick; a piece of Walmart cutting board; scraps of plywood; a pool noodle; and a PVC fitting. Right now, I'll rig it as a fixed kick-up skeg. After I spend a little time with it, I'll decide if I want to re-rig it as a moveable rudder. What do you think?
