A brief background of Historic skiffs: Historic 10ft skiff are close replicas to pre 1940 Australian racing skiffs predominantly from Sydney Harbour & Balmain areas. They are currently 3 handed & have a selection of 3 rigs, big, intermediate & small. Constructed of timber their round bilge planked hulls carrying wooden spars, with gaffs gunter rigged. Challenging to sail, races are conducted in 5 25 knots of breeze with maximum 26 ft peak head kites of up to 300 sq. ft. in area. Most skiffs have a select of kites onboard for various angles & wind strengths. Adhering to the past racing rules : if the mast head hits the water the skiff is DSQ, non finisher & recovery by towing to shore follows.
