The PT 11 is a very versatile boat. It rows, sails, and motors and it does all those things exceptionally well. It also nests for carrying on the deck of your sailboat or in the back of a vehicle.

The Boat BW is a trailerable plywood stitch-and-glue skiff. The outboard-powered modified-vee hull with lifting strakes provides an efficient hull that rises on to plane with little-to-no porpoising. The below-deck bulkheaded and sealed compartments provide superb secondary flotation.

Before the advent of the outboard motor, rowing/sailing skiffs were common on Chesapeake Bay. They were used for crabbing, fishing, transporting goods, and enjoying summer evenings with a friend.

Here is another little skiff inspired by a Chesapeake Bay working craft.
