(Built by Mike Van Susteren, Verona, WI)

Rowing or sculling is a fun and invigorating way to get in shape. The feeling of gliding over the water at a high rate of speed with nothing more than people power is indescribable. The problem is that most craft suited to this sport are expensive and, in the past, trying to build your own was not easy.

Our Stitch-N-Glue method changes all of that. Just about anyone can build our SCULLING SKIFF quickly, easily, and with only a minumum of tools. Two sheets of 4mm x 4' x 8' plywood plank the entire boat. When these thin metric panels are used, the finished weight will be comparable to the costly production jobs. In fact, the original prototype hull weighed only 39 lbs. ... incredible for a 17' boat.

Although you can equip your SCULLING SKIFF with a production sliding seat/sculling assembly, our plans even include complete details and Full Size Patterns to build your own sliding seat and riggers from readily available materials. There's no reason to deny yourself any longer. You can now have your own high-performance, high-tech SCULLING SKIFF with just a few days of fun and not even miss the money it takes.

Built by Don Scribner - "The main "problem" with the skiff is that it is scary-fast. My son and I are the only ones willing to even get into it. The oars have a 19 foot wingspan, which gives tremendous leverage. Within 4 strokes, you can be going 4-5 miles an hour. That doesn't sound like a lot, but it is twice as fast as a canoe or kayak. If you catch an oar at that speed, bad things can happen in a big hurry."



Built by Tom & Chelsey Oldridge (father & daughter)
