A few years ago I had an aquaterra simitar and made a aluminum flip-up stern mounted skeg for the boat. I used it for a year and found it effective both in tracking and weathercocking. As Nick stated, the surface area was much smaller than a conventional skeg and it did tend to come out of the water especially when surfing. I traded the boat in and to my knowledge the next owner continued using it. frank >*************************************************************************** >PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List >Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net >Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net >Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ >*************************************************************************** > *************************************************************************** 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 Fri Jan 15 1999 - 17:25:20 PST
