Classic sailing dinghy
17 JERSEY SKIFF
Gig Harbor
- 5.06m
16' 7"ft
The Jersey Skiff is a stunning boat with a rich heritage. She was designed in the mid-1800%u2019s to be beach-launched and rowed through surf for rescue and salvage work. This required a boat that was stable and fast, had a high carrying capacity, and was easy to handle even when short-handed. The resulting design marries the best attributes of the classic Whitehall and New England Dory hulls, as the the fine bow slices through chop without pounding, while the tumblehome transom tracks with the surety of a Whitehall. A small flat section on the bottom reduces draft, and allows the Jersey Skiff to sit solidly on a beach, while increasing stability whether rowing or sailing.
