The Great River Race Skerry (SKiff whERRY) is an 8 oared boat, 25 feet long, 7 feet 6 inches beam, and 15 inches freeboard which gives both the speed of a skiff and the comfort of a wherry. Built in top quality marine ply and epoxy coated, with 4 rowing thwarts and one aft for coxswain and passenger. Flexibility of fit out allows for additional seats, drawers, lockers, cover, canopies, mast and sails. Weight about 150kg gives easy handling and moving the boat in or out of the water. With its very flared saucer like cross section, the unladen waterline reduces to less than 4 feet, when it can be rowed by just two. With more aboard, stability and buoyancy are improved.

Rowing arrangements are easily varied from 2 to the maximum of 8 with room for a cox and passenger. Fitting out can be for racing or recreational, with removable seating and cushions; the latter allowing up to 8 passengers with 4 oars persons.

The hull is of marine ply. All wood for fitting out is light and durable cedar. The hull is epoxy coated, painted to the colour of the customer’s choice and the interior varnished. A stainless steel runner along the keel and runners under the hull minimise wear and tear if beached.

With strong, light and durable construction, it is a boat very much for training, with great flexibility in the number of rowers. Ideal also for recreational use, camping, picnicking or just being on the water. Prospective buyers may like to do so with a syndicate. Estimated costs are available on request.
