I have seen a commercially available one that fits on some WW boats such as Prijons. The cone is sized to fit exactly on the rear of specific models. You could also make one of your own. The easiest and probably best ist to replicate the strap on skeg that Feathercraft sells for the Khatsalano. The one they sell will fit on quite a number of boats since it has a flexible sheet of hypalon that follows the contuors of your boat and the skeg (a disk encased in hypalon) is also flexible. The advantage of this type is that you cannot hurt it in rough landings. A fiberglass one might get damaged. ralph Niilus_at_aol.com wrote: > > In Derek Hutchinson's book The Complete Book of Sea Kayaking on p. 19 there > is an illustration of a white-water kayak fitted with a detachable skeg.
