15 ft Light Rowing Skiff, Design #94

This one is a more recent development on the Flashboat theme using strip planking instead of the compound-bent plywood. It is simple to build and features a movable thwart system for optimum performance with either one or two rowers. Rowing this boat would be a delight. Even so, getting a boost from a following breeze would be even more fun, so a downwind sail is part of the design.
