Suggestions to Increase Secondary Stability?
This thing tracks about as straight as a Tim Tebow spiral, so I wanted to get a narrower kayak with a more-pronounced keel. My wife really likes the primary stability and is not a big fan of getting a narrower tandem. So in the interest of continued adult activities together, paddling or otherwise, I am stuck trying to improve the tracking of this hull. I was thinking of adding a rudder. Would that help, or would that be the equivalent of adding a Hobie rudder to an aircraft carrier? Maybe some under-hull fins like surfboards? |

If you want to still get a more narrow kayak
and also please your wife in it still being stable get a more narrow kayak then either made or buy a stabilizer system for the kayak they make big ones for tandems and small ones and just put one on the front and one on the back will be a lot more stable but also still be able to cover more ground

Check out Youtube, I saw some videos of people that made their own rudders.
