Shorter OED 1968 Edition:
Note plural. I guess that works. Especially as it excludes the 5 Tonner [grin] Edited by JimC - 29 Feb 16 at 8:47am |

In sailing terms:
1/ Flat bottom, wide beam, single chine to slightly flared sides. Relatively large sail area and light weight giving high power to weight ratio 2/ Not built by Topper International in the late 1990s ;)

Comes from the German word Schiff (AFAIK), meaning 'ship', so maybe the L5000 scrapes in?

Yes the L5000 struggles to meet the skiff definition in my opinion too much use of choppy means very very heavy :( use of discarded bt telegraph poles lacked sophistication
