This was a common problem with the Valley type skeg on my Romany, and is a major reason I decided to go with a P&H Sirius to replace my stolen Romany Explorer (blue, SN# DKJ95581595). <Rant mode on> The Valley skeg would even jam up with suspended sand in surf, rendering it a totally useless piece of junk. Yes, I'm being extremely harsh about the Valley skeg, but I hope they get a clue and start using a better skeg. The Romany is a very nice boat, but the skeg is an abysmally poor piece of equipment. <Rant mode off> The P&H skeg is far superior, you dont have to reach behind you to use it, and I know people who have used them for years without ever having them jam. I hope to be one of them in just a few days. ;-) Wayne At 04:07 PM 9/13/98 -0500, Chuck Holst wrote about his Romany skeg: > >And if you own a kayak with a skeg, check the skeg every time you put >in. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Sep 13 1998 - 15:52:32 PDT
