Re: Flying with a 3 piece sea kayak??
This may not help much but if you are bound for Alaska and can get a flight with your kayak to Seattle the Alaska Airlines Milk Run will likely be your only option for Southeast and South Central Alaska. https://blog.alaskaair.com/destinations/the-milk-run-flight/#:~:text=Milk%20rides%20in%20cargo%2...

Re: Why is it wind over tide?
So, SJD, you have got your answer? ;) JB To be fair, while I have not heard the expression under discussion before I do know why the word tide is used. Perhaps an issue of semantics, but it is just easier to say tide as it is an all encompassing word often used by the general public to describe wat...

Why is it wind over tide?
In the paddling in strong wind thread there is mention of wind over tide. Admittedly, I have never heard this term so I also did a web search. There is a long list of search results stating the same terminology and explaining the interaction between wind and water. This is not to question the phenom...

That may work if there is enough room, meaning width, in the skeg box to fit the blade, a bolt head and the nut. If the nylon does not fit, a stainless steel flat head machine screw and nut with less bulk may fit. It would be nice for information knowledge purposes to see what the original configura...

Looks like it would still require a bungee cord and hook at the stern for a temporary fix but that does not really change much regarding the trim mechanism.

Re: Smart trak trim-tab install/retro-fit
I do wonder if in the event of rudder cable/line or part failure would this trim tab mechanism allow the paddler to lock the blade to a centerline position; a sort of limp home device.

Scroll down a bit in the attached article discussing paddle ferrules. You can also internet search kayak paddle ferrule. I suspect there are several names for the same thing.

As pictured it kind of looks like the male side of the ferrule may have been bonded in backwards.

I could be wrong, but when the OP mentions OC1 seems like the canoe in question is a 1 man outrigger canoe such as those popular in Hawaii. For example:

Re: Romany..
I have experienced the opposite. Most kayakers I have known over the past thirty-five years really did not care for the Nordkapp all that much. The Romany and Explorer has had far greater appeal to many when comparing the two. Within the same cadre, the Anas Acuta’s main appeal is for rolling and a ...

Looks like my experience with deck pumps is different than the opinions expressed so far.

I did make two modifications in order for...
