[Paddlewise] Adjustable skegs

G'Day,

The second question concerns skegs.

I'm considering having a skeg fitted, mainly to improve the Pittarak's
performance in surf. The skeg is made by VCP (valley canoe) and is
continuously adjustable. Questions: - Are most skegs continuously adjustable
and is the ability to adjust them an advantage in tuning the boat to sea
conditions. If so why? And in what conditions?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

All the best, PeterO
