16ft double ended rowing skiff Design #242

A light, well mannered skiff is a joy to own and use.  This one built during the spring of 2020 is a particularly nice model.  It is a middle of the road shape with enough bottom in it for good stability but with plenty of flare in the sides to keep the waterline beam narrow for ease of rowing.  A great boat for lazy afternoons on the lake, or for more ambitious long distance cruising should the mood strike.
