emmm. This is in the prestigeous Woodenboat magazine by one of our main wooden kayak designers. . . :

it's the head photo of part 2 of an continued article by Rob Macks on how to build his Shooting Star biadarka.

reactions?
 
or maybe a rudder as well?
. . . maybe I'm just being a jerk - really, what diff does it make: it's beautifully done.
 
Believe it or not the Aleutians did sometimes use a rudder, but never a skeg. And yes, he did a beautiful job.
