Abakhiqizi be-kayak bezikebhe zepulasitiki bakutshela ukuthi i-kayak ngayinye ingaba nephini lokuqondisa. Ugqinsi lwama-rudder blades e-K1 kanye ne-K2 akumele ludlule 10 m; noma i-K4 ngeke yeqe 12 m; isikebhe singase siklanywe njengohlobo lwangaphakathi (uhlobo lwe-kayak) esikhundleni sohlobo lwangaphandle (ukuntweza kanye nohlobo lokushushuluza emanzini).
Iphini lokuqondisa i-kayak liyisisetshenziswa se-kayak. Kuyidivayisi elula yokulawula isiqondiso se-kayak, okuhlanganisa ama-rudder blades, isiteringi, intambo yokuqondisa, isitokwe sokuqondisa, njll. Umkhiqizi we-kayak ye-plastic canoe ikutshela ukuthi iphini lokuqondisa likhona ebhodini lokunyathela lomsubathi.. Lapho umsubathi egwedla, izinyawo zakhe zihlezi phezu kwebhodi. Lapho i-kayak idinga ukujika, usebenzisa unyawo lwakhe ukuhambisa iphini lokuqondisa. I-rudder stock izungeza ukuzungezisa kwe-eksisi okungashintshi. Lapho i- “T”-ukuphenduka kwesitoko okumise okwephinikhodi, intambo yokuqondisa iyaqhutshwa futhi isondo lokuqondisa elixhunywe komunye umkhawulo wentambo yephini liyadonswa. Isondo lokuqondisa lixhumeke ngokuqinile ephini, ngakho-ke intambo yokuqondisa iqondisa ngempela iphini lokuzungeza, kanjalo I-kayak iyajika.
Imithetho yomncintiswano ikubeka lokho: umkhiqizi we-kayak ye-plastic canoe ikutshela ukuthi uma ubude bomzimba we-kayak bunwetshwa ngenxa yokufakwa kwephini, ubukhulu be-rudder blade kufanele bulinganiselwe. Ubukhulu bamaqabunga akumele budlule u-12mm.
