Rudder or Skeg Option

• Delta Rudder System

  Proprietary, Lightweight aluminium rudder helps keep you on-course in all conditions

• Delta Skeg System

  Our Spring Loaded Skeg System is simple to deploy and features a kink-free operation. The skeg line is housed in a tube and tucked away under-deck so it reduces the chance of snagging when loading and unloading gear. As a note, a skeg can be deployed at different increments so the paddler can determine the amount of aid in tracking needed. A skeg does not move side to side so it will not aid in steering the boat. If you would like a steering aid, you can request a rudder as an option.
