Skiffs in action

The 18 foot skiffs were out recently at Weston SC while I was doing safety boat duty, fortunately the skiffs are largely self supported otherwise I might have had a problem keeping up, not to mention leaving the Lasers and regular b0ats behind.

I did rush over o this one but the crew were really relaxed so just stood by while they righted the boat and then sped off into teh distance down Southampton Water.

My summary would be - Fantastic boats, very fast requiring good athletic, sailing and swimming skills
