And they should be easily maneuverable and controllable. Two of the Wee Skiffs head for the starting line. Duncan made a prototype and took his idea to a regatta committee meeting. Four other committee members ordered the boat. Since its first race of five boats, other families have bought kits or plans.
Today there are about a dozen Wee Skiffs racing.
Matthew Little is helping at the boat dock. This is his 9th year on the regatta committee, he explains. With 14 children from one part of my family or another at these regattas, I figured I ought to help out. Some of the older children have finished their races and are conducting a post-mortem. The second half is you gotta be good.
