Skeg *PIC*
In Response To: S&G: Two more Fiji boats *PIC* (John Caldeira)
Both kayaks have skegs similar to the design on my skeg page ( http://www.outdoorplace.org/paddling/lines/Skeg.html ), but to make it more sand-resistant, inside box I made narrow pieces that hold the skeg in postion instead of flat sides. A little more water resistance, but almost jam-proof.
A loop of braided metal fishing leader wire attached to the skeg makes it easy to release a skeg if sand does jam it.
