We have found that a rudder is the best way to handle a tandem kayak. All of our energy goes towards forward propulsion and the rudder steers the boat effortlessly.

my tandem kayak weighs about 60 pounds and is too bulky for one person to carry. i guess i will have to buy a single rider kayak that is easier for me to take on my own

They are talking about the paddling technique for KAYAK TANDEM, not canoe.

I disagree. In canoeing, I was taught that the person in front was the driver and did most of the moving, while the person in back was the navigator, pointing the canoe in the proper direction in addition to actually moving it forward. This being the case, the stronger paddler should sit up front, so that the weaker person could, if so motivated, only steer by occasionally dropping the paddle into the water to steer by resistance. When the person is not to paddle though, they should be in front.
