Skrowl 4.34
Description
The Skrowl by Yann Quenet represents a watershed moment in microsailing history, combining revolutionary design thinking with accessible construction methods to create an ocean-capable vessel that challenged every assumption about minimum boat size for serious voyaging. Though the 14-foot 3-inch plywood yacht's Atlantic crossing ended in a dramatic capsize and rescue off Portugal in 2015, the design's innovative scow-shaped hull, leeboard configuration, and minimalist philosophy established Quenet as a visionary whose work continues inspiring sailors worldwide. The 200 hours of design development and 1,200 hours of construction time invested in Skrowl provided invaluable lessons that directly informed his subsequent success with Baluchon, proving that extraordinary adventures remain achievable through ingenious design, careful craftsmanship, and the courage to pursue unconventional solutions to age-old sailing challenges.

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.
