General condition and any additional information

Chesapeake Light Craft Description:
The Skerry design combines elements of traditional working craft of the British Isles and Scandinavia, with a little bit of American Swampscott Dory thrown in. This synthesis of historic designs with CLCs LapStitch™ construction method results in a beautiful hull with excellent performance under sail or oar. This John C. Harris design is that rarest of small boats that rows and sails with equal affinity. Sail when theres wind, row when theres not. Youll cover the miles either way. The sprit rig is the most faithful to the Norse smallcraft that inspired the Skerry design. Its the easiest and least expensive of the rigs to build—there are no tapers in the spars, for example—and also the quickest by far to set up on the beach. It stows inside the hull for transport. The boom is set high enough that the boat can be rowed with the sail up, extremely handy when maneuvering close to shore.
