ABOUT THE INDIAN RIVER SKIFF

The 2021 Indian River Skiff is a replica of one that was donated to the school from the Indian River area. Its exact heritage is unknown, but is speculated to be a Lyman rowboat. Students have taken the lines off the donated boat to generate plans and parts for the new boat.

Hand built by Comprehensive Career Boat Building students, the 2021 Indian River Skiff is a 13’7″ long with a 47″ beam. The framing is white oak and it has been planked with northern white cedar. The sheer plank is sapelle; floorboards are varnished non-skid cypress. The exterior is dark green and varnished sheer. Interior is Hatteras off-white with varnished thwarts and risers.
