RE: [Paddlewise] Romany Explorer/Jubilee (was Sirius)

There are two Jubilees.  One called a Modified and the other with a skeg,
if I have it correct.  An "M" model and an  "S" Model.  Which do you have,
or recommend?  Does either have a significant weather cocking problem?

At URL http://www.interlog.com/~gallantg/vcp.html they write:  "Nordkapp M
- modified hull which incorporates an integral skeg for superior tracking
and Nordkapp S - standard hull without integral skeg which is much easier
to turn, but has less directional stability. The latter would be equipped
with the retractable skeg for added versatility."
