[Rhodes22-list] Skipjack - Elle about Ketch in Regatta?

[Tootle]

Elle:

Thank you for identifying the boat:

The skipjack has always interested me.  It has a history of its design and
purpose.  It is a sailboat design that was made to 'work' in shallow water. 
The fundamental design has historical variations from Nova Scotia to
Galveston, Texas.

It even has a proven 'Blue Water' variation in the famous 'Spay', which
Slocum took and rebuilt a coastal boat to sail round the world.

Some variations of the fundamental design are more rounded, have or do not
have centerboards, or even cabins.  The intrinsic purpose was a work boat
under sail.

Again, thank you for the picture and boat identification.  Didn’t you say
that you had more eye candy?  Not meaning you of course.
