In Response To: Other: Building Nick's Skeg *PIC* (Greg Galloway)

I modified Nick's shape to eliminate the sharp 90 degree angle between the leading edge and the pivot point.

Looks great Greg. I should note that the sharp angle by the pivot point makes it so you don't see the hook slot for attaching the skeg to the pivot rod. As you have it shaped now, the slot will extend out beyond the bottom of the boat when the skeg is deployed. This is probably not a big deal, but something to think about.
