Someone else in a slightly different arena doing well with the extra width and waterline length a scow nose seems to bring.. Similar in some ways to the jolly old v-twin.

Good to see the giant Topper is fast!
Maybe we will see a comeback for the scow bowed dinghy, which has been pushed to one side by the fashion for the skiff. An RS scow, anyone? |

Check out page 29 of your 'V twin' topic. I Luv Wight posted it there back in July.

Since nobody can agree a definition of a 'skiff' perhaps the 'v twin' could claim to be one and seek selection for the Olympic womens skiff slot. Next stop - world domination!

Pretty sure the bowsprit is a swinging one too.
