Greetings group,
I am looking for books or online references for sizing and design of skegs
for low speed flat bottomed(dory) boats. Does anyone have any formulas or
rules of thumb for this kind of design work? My intentions are to power a
24'-10" dory with 10-15 hp via a motor well located in the aft third of the
hull. I am considering something full length tapering forward. John Gardner
recommends skegs on his dories when powered but leaves the reader with no
clues to dimensioning. I hope this stimulates some interesting responses.
Thanks to all, it's a great group to watch and read.

best regards, Mike
Gardner power dory in progress.
