    Beautiful image here Gnarly and I liked the post on kayak hulls and speeds. I have to agree with you about using a rudder in in a following sea for a couple of reasons. One is that I think it is just about as much out of the water as it is in(depending on conditions and waves I guess) and secondly I find it provides an added surface area for waves/water and their energy to exert forces that tend to tug or “lurch” the boat a bit more violently than without the use. Now would a skeg be more useful because of it’s typically more forward of the stern position than a stern rudder and perhaps more contact with water.

    Oh yes the lady on the front of the bow of the other post. Amazing the stern is not lifted.
