12' Thames Skiff
Plans
$120 England & EU
$102 USA/Elsewhere 

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.
