Sailing and rowing Skiff for Sale SOLD pending pick up
Description
The boat (Jonathan Livingston) is a 16 foot sharpie skiff built to the Laughing Gull plans by Arch Davis with some modifications including a small foredeck, NACA foil shape rudder and daggerboard, additional seating as well as an aluminum stayed mast. She is very fast either rowing or sailing . She has a new 2023 roller furling jib and nearly new full batten square top mainsail with two reef points, both by Doyle sails. She is unsinkable with a large air tight chamber as well as a forward air tight locker. Her oars are locally made spoon blades and varnished. The boat is built with all high quality marine grade plywood and everything is sealed with epoxy. The bottom has a layer of fiberglass cloth with several layers of graphite powder in epoxy for abrasion resistance, as well as two strakes to allow it to be beached. There are two opening scuppers in the stern to make the boat self bailing as well as a boarding ladder to get into the boat from the water. It can be easily righted if capsized by one person.
The boat would make a great boat for kids to learn on, or for one or two adults.
She also has removable canvas dodger and risers with foam flotation that slot into the gunnels on both sides of the boat to raise the freeboard and provide more ultimate stability. They were designed as an expedition set up for more open water sailing. The intent was to use the boat for raid style races but age and arthritis have ended that dream.
The trailer and dog are not included
