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!
