Skimmer
Description
The Skimmer is an American sailing dinghy designed by William F. Crosby in 1933 specifically for amateur construction during the Great Depression. Crosby, who was editor of Rudder magazine and had previously designed the famous Snipe in 1931, published the Skimmer plans in the October and November 1933 issues of Rudder magazine as a means of producing a sailboat for the least cost possible.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
