Hi Ross

I installed the same skeg in my first guillemot but I didn't take any photo's during the construction. If you look on the Guillemot 17 page, you can view the design drawing. I tried redesigning the blade but came to the conclusion that the present design gives maximum change in cable position at the control end, makes for maximum adjustability. I am very happy with it. The only change I'll make for this boat is the method of construction for the control end. Should be finished by mid July.
