Wooboo
Description
The Woobo was designed by Jim Michalak for Wooden Boat magazine's "perfect skiff" competition about ten years ago (hence the name "Woobo"). Michalak's designs have proven their toughness at events like the Texas 200, with the ability to carry all needed gear while being surprisingly fast and economical to build. The design emphasizes functionality over aesthetics, built using taped seam construction that requires no lofting or jigs.

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.
