This is an old design but a very successful one. It was developed as a racing skiff in the days when we were young and foolish, but has since proved to be a delightful boat for just messing around in.
This little boat was built for a sailor from Tomales Bay, just north of San Francisco. In summer the bay funnels the prevailing northwesterlies, making it a lively place to sail a small boat. After trying a number of dinghies the owner knew he wanted a boat beamy enough to make proper use of crew weight and capable of sailing well in strong winds.
