Extremely fast, safe, and able on smooth water, the scow or skimming type of sailboat is perhaps the most efficient hull form known, and one readily adaptable to home construction. The 13-foot skimmer “Wings” described and pictured here, is a true scow sailing craft. It has shown an excellent turn of speed, the ability to point closely, and is easily handled with one finger on the tiller. It is especially adapted to sailing wherever sheltered waters abound. Designed to build easily, difficult joinery work has been eliminated. Anyone with the aid of ordinary carpenter’s tools and a few clamps can build this sailboat and it will furnish incomparable sport and compare favorably with other fast hulls.
