    Default G'day from snowy Cobourg, Ontario: kayak sailing rudder/leeboard

    I "enlisted" in December 2010 but have done nothing since then so time for a new start.

    Yes, we are having a serious snow day with a snowfall warning and -18C tonight. Doesn't that make you guys down under feel more comfortable. I am a bit envious.

    This may be the year to get serious about sailing again after my visit to the Toronto Boat Show in January. After checking out the local used dinghy market (most have lots of standing rigging and I would need more storage space), I had an epiphany. Yesterday, I purchased Mr. Storer's outrigger plans with the idea of using my 10' Wood Duck kayak and/or my 16' Prospector canoe as the main hull.

    However, I need a rudder and potentially lee boards. Does anyone have any recommendation or suggestions for plans for these items?

    Please and thank you.
    Best wishes,
    Paul
