Placing the KS-Skeg control
unit 4
It is important to pay attention
to find optimal place for the skeg
control unit when designing the
kayak. z
Skeg control unit should be placed
close to the paddler to have easy
access on it at all times. It should
not stick in the way when doing
normal paddling rotation. Most often
the optimal location is little bit
forward from hip, next to the cockpit
rim. If it’s too far in the front the
paddler can accidentally hurt his
hand in it while paddling or it can
disturb normal thigh support. If the
unit is too much in side and close to
the seam it will become the outmost
part of the kayak in sideways. It is
a risky location when storing and
transporting the kayak.
