The Summerbreeze is an 11’8″ long 50″ beam 16″ sides, high capacity skiff reminiscent of the turn of the century flatiron skiffs. No lofting is required and all saw cuts are straight. The “bump” where the sides rise to the transom is smoothed out with plane, rasp or sander. The chine log, PL premium, and bronze nail construction keep young fingers out of Epoxy and glass, though she can be stitched and glued and glass-sheathed if conditions warrant.
She’s a pleasure to row, and she is able to hit 7.5 knots with her humble polytarp lug sail in moderate breezes. Her leeboard creates wide-open sprawling space enough for a bedroll to a dedicated small boat camper.
