In Response To: Re: Strip: skeg/no skeg (Don Goss)
: I paddled a Night Heron S&G for a couple years and found I really needed a
: skeg for my 165 lbs. If you weigh more, then you might not need one.
I only weigh 135 lb, so it is not quite as simple as light paddlers need one and heavy paddlers don't.
It may also depend on how you trim the kayak. Moving the seat back a bit might also help reduce the need for a skeg.
