Kimballs in Idaho

Updated 25 September 2024


I added a seatback to my sailboat. Sheri and I took it out on Lake Pend Oreille to try it out. Unfortunately, with both of us on the back seat the front of the boat was pretty high. So Sheri was relegated to the floor. The next time out I'll add some weight to the bow so we can sit together. I mounted the tiller backwards and ran a line through fairleads creating a rope loop. Steering is accomplished by grabbing the rope on the port or starboard side and pulling or pushing to deflect the rudder. Works great!
