Trident Rigging

I have come to like the Trident 15 and use it for everything except Big Sur.

This boat is about to spend most of it's useful life in Sur.

And from now on I'm making it my policy to use one of my other yaks everywhere else. 
Just to restore the equilibrium.

bout your compass - the last thing I'd want to be doing on an an unsettled ocean when the fog was in and the GPS was out, would be to be looking at a compass at my knees.

Good advice. My sea kayak has the compass up past the forward hatch and bulkhead up near the prow for that very reason--it was designed to be put in that very place as part of the fiberglas layup. It makes sighting on landmarks and following a bearing a lot easy the closer it is to the prow.
