Rudder SmartTrack Compact Standard With the Compact Standard version, the rudder fitting is screwed onto the stern of the kayak. The Compact rudder housing is 2cm shorter than the original housing and is therefore particularly suitable for kayaks whose stern runs close to the water.
The rudder blades are profiled and have a perfect flow shape. The use of rudder blades of different sizes is possible, they can be exchanged in just a few steps.
The rudder is designed in such a way that it is not possible for the blade to turn over when the boat is moving backwards, so that the rudder lines cannot get tangled.
A downhaul is not needed for this rudder, this function is taken over by an integrated spring. In the event of grounding, the blade is lifted against the spring force so that the rudder and boat are not damaged.
