In Response To: Strip: skeg kit vs. homemade? (James Williams)

I've constructed and retrofit a retractable skeg into two kayaks and have been pleased with the performance and ease of construction. My design is based one developed by Ross Leidy.

Instruction info on this page:

A retrofit skeg is almost nothing compared to the skill needed to build a kayak. Go for it!
