Re: Strip: to skeg or not to skeg?
In Response To: Re: Strip: to skeg or not to skeg? (Rob Macks/Laughing Loon CC&K)
I will second Robs comments. I live inland but was up in the Chesapeake Bay area last week teaching a boat building class and I experienced some of what Rob described. I was paddling a boat that I have been well pleased with but I ran into some conditions that made me really wish I had a skeg. It's the first time I have really needed one but paddling in 20 mph wind with the boat rolled over on it's side like a canoe was no fun.
It doesn't hurt anything being there if you don't use it and it is a whole lot easier to put it now and when you do need it, it is there.
