Skegged Rudders

Posted by Roger Ford on October 11, 1999 at 05:45:56:

We returned from a GREAT POA dinner with many ideas and questions as to how to
outfit our new PDQ36

It seems that more than a couple of the existing PDQ's have bent a rudder and
that skegs may have prevented that and they would also keep crab traps and
lobster pots from jamming on the shaft between the rudder and hull

I would be interested in hearing from owners with skegs as to whether they are
pleased with their performance. Have they encountered any problems with the
skegs? Have they still bent their rudder and now have to also deal with a broken
skeg? How do you repair a broken skeg?
Many thanks for your input.
