In Response To: Strip: Kajaksport skeg (Jack Hawkins)

I've installed a few skegs in wood kayaks and I think that I'd route to the flange depth around the skeg hole so that the flange sits flush with the outside of the hull. Then I'd add a layer of extra glass on the inside. I'd also glass over the flange and surrounding area on the outside.

The primary reason:

* It's hard to glass or otherwise protect the wood in the slot. With the flange, you don't have to worry about it.
