The Hawke Bay is a large single rowing skiff designed for a New Zealand client who wanted to go on rowing expeditions around the coasts of North & South Islands. She has been given plenty of freeboard and buoyancy to cater with the sharp chop experienced in offshore rowing. There is a sliding seat for comfortable rowing and plenty of room to take enough stores for lengthy trips. Standard construction is for welded aluminium using pre-shaped panels. She can however be made from plywood using stitch and tape methods with epoxy.
