Skipjack 48
Description
The Skipjack 48 is a radio-controlled model sailboat designed by "Pepper" Langley and published by the Solomons Island Model Boat Club (SIMBC) in January 2002. This class was established on the Chesapeake Bay to honor and preserve the heritage of the oyster dredging skipjacks on the Bay, with models built to a common plan to create a scale representation of a "typical" working skipjack.

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.
