    Well I finished this a little while back. Put together the two tubes easily enough. It looks a little bit ghetto to be honest, but there is now about 100 litres of buoyancy each side, and I can remove them if solo in the boat or where I may not need the extra flotation. I have not yet splashed it, but the trout fishing season opens soon and will take it to the local river estuary. I'll try to dig up some photos.

    Can a rudder produce a strong turning force on a sea kayak; other wave-fighting recommendations?
