Hello forum,
my dinghy will see quite a bit of dragging on and off sandy shore and I am wondering what I should do to protect the bottom and the skeg a bit more.
Fiberglass, aluminium, stainless, graphite?
What are the other folks using?
Cheers!

RE: skeg / bottom protection
I had similar thoughts about the skeg on my Peapod. I encapsulated the skeg in a layer of glass cloth which also helped reinforce the fillet.

RE: skeg / bottom protection
Yes...supporting the skeg and fillet makes this a really strong part of the hull. I added the wormshoe on top of this in case I need to replace it, but that is unlikely.

Ok, I think I figured out the pictures this time...hope it works.
Glassing the skeg
brass rubrail over epoxied and varnished wormshoe

I doubled up the fiberglass on my Skerry hull and added brass rubrails material to bow and skeg with bronze screws
