My modified Skerry build is nearing completion with initial "sea trials" under oar only complete. I'm now working on the spars and should have "Luna" rigged in a week - then I'll be looking for some suitable weather to start the process of tuning the rig.

I'm very happy to have chosen the Skerry, she is an attractive boat and rows extremely well. Her ease of rowing and her speed even impressed one of my sculling friends who couldn't wait to get behind the oars.

I have a web page that seeks to explain why I made the alterations I have. You can see it here - https://makeandmend.nz/project-portfolio/skerry_build/ and also on the Facebook CLC Skerry Owners, Builders, and Fans page.
