Light Trow

Light trow

My objective has been to design an alternative style of easy-to-build light rowing skiff that would offering a narrow design waterline for good rowing characteristics, combined with a flaring hull able to support a small sailplan.

Drawings of the traditional Fleet trow seen in the classic text 'Working Boats of England' by Eric McKee provided the inspiration for a craft formed of flat panel materials that would be almost double-ended, but for a small triangular-shaped transom, as seen in some trows.
