I accept this and wings need to be centrally located.

Like Don Goss said, "I don't know why any of the manufacturers don't capitalize on these performance characteristics."

: Hydrodynamics and aerodynamics (hope I spelled those right) are
: very closely related. A skeg is indeed much like a wing and
: still doesn't need forward motion for it to work. Sideways
: motion, drifting with wind or current, allows it to act as a
: wing too.
