Jimmy Skiff 2
Description
The Jimmy Skiff II is a 13 ft 6 in (4.11 m) glued-lapstrake plywood sailing and rowing skiff designed in 2013 by Chesapeake Light Craft (CLC) as a modern, easier-to-build evolution of the original Jimmy Skiff. Weighing only 90–100 lbs, she combines a lightweight flat-bottom hull with graceful, flared sides, a sprit rig of 70 sq ft (balanced lug optional), and a pivoting centerboard or leeboard option, making her an ideal learn-to-sailboat that rows beautifully and planes readily off the wind. With room for two adults plus gear, simple stitch-and-glue construction (150–200 build hours from a CNC-cut kit or plans), and the ability to be car-topped or trailered behind anything, the Jimmy Skiff II has become one of CLC’s best-selling designs—thousands are now sailing and rowing worldwide as family daysailers, yacht tenders, or camp-cruising micro-adventurers.
