18' Oban Skiff Replica (2013) - GYLEN

OBAN SKIFF
This is an outstanding and eye catching boat by virtue of its beautiful round stern, fine lines forward flowing into strongly flaired sides.

She is based on a boat built in Oban in the 1880s but is similar to other fishing boat types which were common on the whole of the west of Scotland. The boat her lines were taken from having retired from fishing was still used in the Oban bay weekend regattas when she was 50 years old!

Length over deck 18ft 4
Beam 5ft 11
length on waterline 16ft 6
Sail Area 192sq ft

Built from quality Scottish larch and oak using all copper and bronze fastenings.

The Oban Skiffs have proved themselves to be quick, slable, well balanced and remarkably good to windward.
