LITTLE CRAB is a smaller version of the Chesapeake Crab Skiff I drew several years ago.

The Mini Vee is a simple-to-build v-bottom racing boat designed for APBA Mini GT and GT Pro racing. Also an excellent high-performance boat for the non-racer and a great boat building project for an individual or the whole family.
