DESCRIPTION The boat is slightly different from the Jersey Skiff by being one board less in freeboard and more rounded. Both boats serving a similar need have very similar lines. However the boat is characterized by a nearly straight stem, rounded sides, a narrow flat bottom (wider though than the Jersey Skiff) and a heart shaped Transom . The boat was usually rigged with either a lug Mainsail or sprit sail and small Jib with an unstayed Mast . The early fishing versions used an Oar as the rudder, more modern versions have a regular Rudder & Tiller . This boat has nearly disappeared from the shores of New Jersey except as used by Lifeguard s. (rowing configuration only.) EXTERNAL LINKS |
