Hello there.
I am based in Waterford in southern Ireland. I just recently got a safari which is not quite ready for the water yet. From what I know of it I am pleased with my choice and encouraged by comments Ive read. I wondered has anyone had any issues with the skeg which is so narrow and a bit insubstantial looking. My boat is out of the water, the skeg feels a bit weak and I am wondering about removing and reattaching it but dont know what it is constructed on. I also am considering bracing the skeg with a length of stainless bar or tubing running from the deepest tip of the skeg fowards at about a 45 degree angle and attaching to the hull just aft of the keel.
Any pearls of wisdom gratefully accepted!
Regards
Ger
