This example is by Neil
Warren with his daughter Alicia looking very pleased with
her fathers efforts.
This rowing skiff has been
lightly modeled on the traditional Thames river skiffs.
They were usually a lot longer and around 4' wide. Here,
we have produced a design which will delight the rowing
enthusiast who wants a light weight skiff with moderately
low beam (requiring the use of short outriggers which are
detailed on the drawings). She uses the stitch and epoxy
method of construction although we can supply the mould
shapes for clinker ply construction as well. With 5 planks
per side and her wine glass transom and raking bow, she
is an elegant form of personal transport. We can supply
plank shapes and details for versions with different beams
to suit your own requirements.
LOD 12' (3.66m); Beam 3'3"
(.99m); Depth amidships 13" (.34m); Approx. wht. 60
lbs (27 kg).
The example above had
sails added by the owner.
