Rowing Skiffs
Rowing is one of the best forms of exercise, with a worldwide popularity. These different designs allow you to get on the water with a boat to suit your skills and the conditions on your particular waterway.
The Tamar Skiff will be the easiest to put together, while the strip plank hulls will take a few weeks longer. Although the lapstrake boats look more complicated, once you have a plank or two down, the process speeds up quite a bit.
These boats are a project that will spread out over a couple of months or longer, especially if you only have weekends to work on the project.
