In Response To: Re: Off center fins and water flow (Mike Spence)

I chose not to address the speculation of the possible corrective actions produced simply by offsetting the skeg location because I don't feel competent enough on the subject. While I do know that water does move in a fore and aft manner under a kayak being paddled, I do not know it's specific angles under the various segments of the hull. Least of all for all paddling conditions. While I have my suspicions that offsetting the skeg will have negligible contribution in and of itself, I do not know this as a fact or certainty.
