Check Metalboatsociety.com for a discussion on skeg failures of Roberts boats. No reason they can't be improved ,altho Roberts says he designs them to fall off if they hit anything.
A couple of dagger board trunks angled out at the stern should help a lot in heavy running conditions in the southern ocean. An outboard rudder would drastically simplify the trimtab self steering steering and make it bulletproof as well as allow a bulletproof trimtab steering system for inside steering.
