I've gotten used to checking my skeg for pebbles after a beach launch, but the design certainly could be improved. What is needed is a flap to protect the skeg slot during launch -- a strip of polyethylene or UHMW, perhaps. I visualize a narrow slot at the forward end of the skeg slot with a couple of corrosion resistant screws to hold the strip in place, for surely the strip would have to be replaceable.
