	Roberts 470 Wood Epoxy The plans for the Roberts 470 include the Roberts "SAFETY SKEG" as a option at no extra charge. The Roberts safety skeg is designed to take the best features from the LONG FIN / SKEG combination and add a SAFETY FACTOR. Many of you may be aware that skegs in general are vulnerable to damage so here is our answer to this problem.
