Hi Darrell, If you put rocker into the aft hulls you are now a displacement hull. Trying to go up on plane would only make the rear squat down and the bow...
... The biggest trade off, having a deep in the middle belly, versus a flat run aft; you mention. The other trade off is weight. A very light boat, per...
http://flickr.com/photos/hallman/3322804119/ I am not remembering if the Payson version of Pointy Skiff #329 has the sailing rig, but here is an isometric of...
I recently bought an unused set of Clam Skiff and Cabin Clam plans. Payson sells the original skiff plans, but you'll need to get the cabin add-on sheets from...
Anon, I just checked instantboats.com and biggest they have is Sneakeasy. ... so you would be sure not to miss it at the bottom of the message. Not many people...
Sailing, he said it would work best if kept lighly loaded, and if the solo sailor hiked out to keep her sailing well upright, he expected her to be "a...
Hello Bob, John, Bruce and all So do you reckon that it is a straight trade off - rocker and 7/8 speed with very good economy or flat rear run and higher speed...
Ned is right but it could be those big 4 stroke outboards. The prototype Cabin Clam Skiff had a big motor, and all the other pics seem to have followed that...
I have always been a fan of the Moccasin since I first saw it in Folding Schooner. I just ran across this picture on a blog of a new Moccasin taken in the...
All, I posted a short YouTube video (actually, it's a slideshow, like the ones you had in the 2nd grade, but without the beeps) showing the construction...

To build a pointy Skiff primarily for use with a small motor, wouldn't one want the stern to be full width and the aft rocker eliminated, providing more volume...
... Beautiful boat and fast according to a friend the sailed on the first one. She and a Crocker 30 1/2 ft. ketch that I once owned were the inspiration for...
Darrell, At this point I really couldn't say. If you don't mind the slower speeds, that is a sure thing. Trying to get higher speeds AND good gas mileage is...
I was thinking that she was way up on her lines and then after blowing up the pic a little bit I think she is in a berth that puts her aground. HJ ... ...
I think that boat is in a little lagoon inside Maple Bay on Vancouver Island. It's been while since I was over that way, but, one never forgets a pretty boat....
Thanks for that further link, I saved all the photos. Boat lust is a peculiar thing, mostly unrequited--quite similar to feelings for unobtainable persona's...
http://flickr.com/photos/hallman/3329387686/ Some may recall this concept boat, 22 ft, designed for hunting in mountain rivers. Shallow draft, fast with good...
