Heidi Skiff

Completed Project

This design is of a shallow-draft, beamy daysailer with both an efficient gaff-rigged mainsail and a jib. It is an excellent step-up for beginning sailors who have learned on smaller, mainsail-only designs.

PROJECT SCOPE

A flat bottom skiff that rows well and can optionally be outfitted with a sailing mast. Designer Richard Kolin was inspired by Pete Culler’s Good Little Skiff.
