: I've given a little thought to trying to figure out how one might put a skeg
: in a SOF, how's that for a problem?

Most of the solutions that I've seen are either a strap on skeg, glued on skeg, or a skeg that snaps on via a couple of screws.

An offset skeg combined with a thru-box supported by ribs may work. I wouldn't want to sew it. I guess for a sof, I'd skip it. And if it weathercocks use my body weight and paddle extension to compensate. But that does suck on long distance trips. Been there. Done that.
