In Response To: Skeggers, Unite! (Pete Rudie)

I installed a retractable skeg on my CLC Chesapeake. Have only had one trial before final fitting on a windy day. The skeg keeps the boat straight, but it is a lot harder to turn with it deployed. I think I will like it, but am glad I will be able to only use it whtn I need it.
