This is just for fun. I came across this listing on Craig’s List and an auto-spell checker must have a strong opinion about rudders, calling the rudder “deplorable”. I guess it’s no worse than a despicable skeg.

A deployable rudder is better than an intractable skeg. 
But not an unemployable one!

Don’t you mean skags and rutters?

How will the deplorable rutters vote in the coming election?
Funny.
I am not sure I’d call it deplorable, but most people I’ve known have preferred the skegged version of the Elaho.
I doubt that was a spell check error. I expect the seller just didn’t want to sound like a Nu Yoka.
My favorite to date was a CL ad in an estate sale listing for a sea kayak that had “one of those metal steering thingees on one end.”

Looks like a fair price. Maybe even Scarborough fair.

fortunately you do not have to use the rudder.
