62-square-foot balanced lug sail, very nicely matched to the Skerry's weight, balance, and style.  Balanced lug sails offer self-vanging geometry for better performance offwind.  It's also the best layout for hoisting, dousing, and reefing on the water; sail has one reef.  A thorough discussion of lug rigs, including the Skerry's, may be found here.

Uses the same mast as the stock sprit rig, and the same mast step and partner.  Kit includes dacron sail with one reef, wooden mast, boom, and yard, mast step, tiller, daggerboard, rudder, and rudder hardware.  One row of reef points are now standard in lug rigs.

While 6-8 have been built and feedback has been 100% positive, the Skerry Raid remains in BETA status. As such there isn't an instruction manual specific to the Skerry Raid, and inexperienced or first-time builders are discouraged. 

For builders who have experience with stitch-and-glue and in reading plans, we've made full-sized patterns available for the Skerry Raid.

This package includes 46 lineal feet of full-sized patterns for every part in the boat, plus sailplan, building notes, and a copy of the standard Skerry's instruction manual with an addendum explaining the differences.

A strong rubber hatch cover snaps over a plastic flange, creating a watertight - even airtight - seal. The design is said to have been adapted from WWII lifeboat storage compartment hatches—ideal for day hatches or as access hatches on wet boats. Rubber hatches are standard in Pax kits and work nicely on Shearwater or Wood Duck decks. (The plastic flange will not, however, accommodate highly radiused decks.)

Seadog hatches are made of injection-molded polycarbonate and high-grade rubber for strength and durability. Special UV coatings shield against sun damage, and all hatches are sealed with TPU, which provides superior resistance to impact, abrasions, and tears regardless of the conditions and weather.

These dome-shaped hatches allow water to siphon off while providing extra room below. And the snap-on, snap-off design fits snugly, yet offers easy access.

Seadog hatches substitute for the VCP brand hatches at a fraction of the cost.

Formally branded as Sea-lect or Sealect Design hatches.

The 100% Polyurethane finish coating provides excellent UV, mildew, and rot resistance, and superior protection from both sun and water damage. Excellent protection against cold-cracking also. The fabric is breathable to help allow interior moisture to escape. An air-vent is also include with this cover.
