The Jimmy Skiff is a modern adaptation of an age old design. Our skiff sails and motors as well as it rows and can accommodate a family of four. Due to its lightweight construction, it can be easily hoisted onto the deck of a larger boat or, if you have a large car, carried on a roof rack.

The Skiff is a swift boat with much flexibility of use. It has three seating positions: the buoyant tank aft and two lateral ones. The high seats allow for easier entry to the boat. Any rig can be fitted but the leg o mutton one usually supplied is simple to work and has a boom which is well out of the way of any crew.

It readily accepts a small outboard motor, and sails like a dream when fitted with her leg-o-mutton sail. The basic kit includes everything you need to outfit her as a rowboat or motorboat. The optional sail kit includes the mast, sprit boom, dagger board and case, and rudder and tiller.
