   Hi Jacko,
   
   There are many ways to achieve the desired motion. My original mechanism used a motor drive for the stroke and a servo to tilt the mechanism for steering with the paddles. I put the electronic/servo solution together as I wanted to improve the movement making it look more natural and less mechanical. It includes a servo to tilt the paddle from one side to the other so the paddler is leaning into the stroke. There is also a servo to feather the blades as they enter/leave the water as in full sized practice.

   Hi Herman’s,
   
   No I haven’t reached that figure yet, maybe one day.... The 93 is a reference to my first boat as shown in my avatar.

   Thanks Cash,
   
   The kayak is surprisingly stable in a breeze. I think it is so low on the water that most of the breeze goes over her head😆
   
   The rowing boat is a different matter. The slightest breeze knocks it off course so it needs constant attention to row in an (almost) straight line.

   That...is so COOL!! youve done a beautiful job on the kayak proper and the mechanics. I built an old Graupner Tina a few years ago, and while it worked, it struggled in the breezes we get here in Texas. Didnt think of adding a mixed in ruddder till well after I traded her off. Anyway, that boat makes me really appreciate your work. Bravo, sir!!

   You have designed a very complex and interesting servo set up!
   The Kayak work is also excellent.
