I have to admit to being a pretty big fan of "retractibility"- if it is too big a job for me- I will have it done. I appreciate the comments.

I did the same thing more or less at the same time and I don't think you need to burden yourself with a retractable skeg. A simple 3 foot tapering fixed skeg (hull extension) is a. easier to fabricate and b. all you need. As far as a foot pump is concerned, do you intend to replace that "foam, rubber, or whatever" bulkhead Wilderness uses with ???? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
