: Hey Erez, that looks cool. I'm curious about the skeg, how necessary is it? I
: found the Coho quite maneagable with good thigh braces and a comfortable
: seat.

I also don't have any problem with the tracking of the coho, I just happened
to have the opportunity to paddle with back wind & waves, well actually
it wasn't even waves, it was just "choppy sea" & I was shocked.
there was nothing I could do to stear the boat, the little chops did whatever
they wanted & I was completely helpless.

this wasn't a safety issue, it was just choppy sea & it was near shore
& it was in Miami so there was no danger of hypothermia, it went on for 3
minutes or so untill I entered the protected cannal leaing to my home.

I then realised the importance of a skeg & I had the privilage of realising
it before I REALLY needed the skeg.
