13ft Skiff

13ft Skiff

The 13ft skiff has been designed as an intermediate skiff to provide a reasonably priced stepping stone between the Junior classes such as a Flying 11 and the 16ft skiff. Its purpose is to give teenagers the fun and experience needed to take the step into the 16ft skiff class. The hulls are strictly one-design. The sails and rigging have maximum and minimum measurements and are open to all manufacturers. There are no monopolies on anything other than the hull.
