2024 Chesapeake Light Craft Skerry

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 buildthere are no tapers in the spars, for exampleand 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.

The Lug Rig of the Chesapeake Light Skerry The balanced lug rig is the best compromise between easy construction, performance under sail, and ease of rigging. Of the three rigs it is the easiest rig to set up and douse while on the water, and the easiest to reef if the wind comes up.
