In Response To: Other: Skegs fore and aft. (Etienne Muller)

I hear howling but it is something I have, reluctantly, mentioned on this forum before as a solution to my Firestar being so very good at going down wind mainly because I liked the longer tail fin.It is more reluctant to go up wind. I guessed a solution could be a bow skeg, rather than truncate the lovely stern rudder.It is properly mad though.Congrats from Paul who is firmly lodged in alternate thinking and can't quite seem to get back into convention.
