Re: Skeg or not to skeg ?

Mac is right about the "long stretches of water with the wind and current hitting you from the side." I built two LT17's for heavy touring in the upper Great Lakes (including Superior).
I added the sgegs later (you kind of have to have the hull complete before adding them anyways). Though I don't always need a sgeg, when the conditions call for one, I'm glad I have it. I'd say paddle it without a skeg until you are convinced you need it.
