: I have bookmarked a few and been searching for all those creative skeg
: designs out there on the World Wide Web. If you know of a good one please
: post the link. If you have built one post some photos please! I hope to
: steal.... excuse me, BORROW some of your ideas. :-)

: So far my favorite ideas are from Ross Leidy's design. I like the idea of the
: bungee pulling the skeg down and the controls he used.

: I love the simplicity of the CLC design but I don't like the hole in the top
: of the deck.

: So what you got?

: Chomping at the bit to start building!

Take a look around Bryan's site, he's got nice plans for a skeg.

Personally I think I'd not bother with it, a well designed boat shouldn't need one. The only boat I've got now with a skeg is the NDK Greenlander and I don't remember the last time I put it down.
(yes my memory is bad, but not "that" bad )
