Skiff or Gig?
I'm not sure exactly how to describe this boat which in dimensions is very similar to the local Bursledon gigs, but built by Devon builders B&A Pomeroy in 2002 and a very fine craft she is.

I suspect it is a Cornish skiff, 15ft and rowed very competitively. Skiff rowers lean back practically horizontally.
ReplyDeleteall wooden fixed seat racing boats are "gigs" this type is a 15ft cornish skiff
