Are you fitting this into a completed boat? I thought something adjustable would be pretty slick, but I imagine that it will be a pain to install at this stage. If it all works out for you please post lots of pics/explanation.

: I put a small skeg on my Guillemot. A 3/4 inch strip about 18 inches long. It
: helped a bit. that said, I'm making an adjustable skeg that is about
: 15" by 4" or so. I'm making it spring loaded so the default is
: in the down positon. I'll use some cord and a cam cleat to pull it up when
: It's not needed. I'll post a photo as soon as I figure out my new camera.
