I've got one in my PinTail.  I rarely use it but it gets regularly used 
by people who borrow the boat, same scenario you are seeing.

Bill Low (a lurker on this list) externally attaches a skeg to his 
skin/frame boats.  The skeg is basically a quarter circle that 
attaches to the stern of his boat.  While it's still a moving part it's 
external so it's much easier to repair than a skeg hidden is a skegbox.
