Lightweight skimmer

Post by Horsley-Anarak »

Jack Palethrope in his 29lb 6 foot skimmer, built in 1933.

This is an old design but has anyone had a go with a boat like this?

I realise it would not cope well with any sort of waves, but flat calm it could be fast.

One sheet of ply, sorted.
Build cost could be as low as £50.00
