This links page is devoted to all the different types of single handed skiffs I have found . As long as the boat fits the criteria necessary to be called a single handed skiff I will try and include it here with pictures and links if possible . This is my definition ( not to be confused with that found in dictionaries or suchlike ) singlehandedskiff . N. a small , light, monohulled boat sailed by one person and which has far too much sail for its own good . It is designed to explore the limits of this form of the sport. Here is the list in alphabetical order . Just click on the thumbnail to see a larger picture then use your browsers back button to return to this page .

There are also many other classes out there whose sailors are responding to the difficulties of finding a reliable and competent crew by going it alone . In Australia the MG and NS classes (both 14 foot boats , MG's have spinnakers , NS's don't ) have a single handed movement within their ranks . Below is a single handed NS with trapeze owned and built by Glen Reynolds
The web site is at www.single-handedskiffs.com Now we have another different approach to the single-handed concept , The 4b sailing skiff ,once again with gennaker but adapted to the somewhat chilly waters of British Columbia where she lives . The site is only a small subsection of a site devoted to environmentally friendly windmill pumps , well worth a look .
