: Dave,
: On my guilly build, I didn't get the stern part of the hull pinched
: in as well as I should have. It was very loose and weather
: cocked real bad. After a few weeks of trying to get used to
: that, I added a small skeg (fixed). My skeg is prolly a bit
: larger than I need, but it works and doesn't interfere with
: turning as long as I lean it a bit for the turn. The boat is now
: weather neutral too. Here's a picture if it helps..

: Tony Olsen

That does help how tall is the stern end of that skeg off the boat? Also how long and at what station is the back edge of the skeg?
