skeg kit?

Submitted by hspira - Mon, 1/27/14 » 5:58 PM

i happened to be on the guillemot site and they indicated they had plans for a skeg ....but that the kit was available at CLC.

i think this is the same design that is used on the petrel. is it buyable as a stand-alone to retro-fit or add to another design?

i can only find a skeg kit on the CLC site that is the old one that went through the deck as well as the hull.

thanks

Howard

I purchased the skeg kit for my Petrel. You will have to call and ask about it. With a little head scratching, and a little phone support, it is installed and works very well. Setting it off center keeps sand and debris from jamming it. I found with just a little skeg showing, makes a big difference in the tracking.
