Hi Jack,
I don't have any info on placing or mounting a skeg, but I wanted to say
"Hi!".
I'm sure you remember but anyway I'll mention something else I saw in the
Stamer slide show. The Greenland skegs had a big circle cut out of their
mass. When I saw this I was really impressed. You get the length of skeg
to help you track yet not as much surface area to retard turning when you
want to. Kinda neat!
Anyway, good luck. Maybe I'll see you at PaddleSport,
Bill Leonhardt
