Bill Burgess 3.6m Sailing Skiff
Description
The Bill Burgess 3.6m Sailing Skiff is a small, traditional clinker-built (lapstrake) sailing skiff designed and lofted/built by Bill Burgess. It's a lightweight, molded design (approximately 660 lbs / 300 kg molded weight) intended as a classic open daysailer or rowing/sailing utility boat, with conventional thwarts and side benches for seating. This appears to be a one-off or custom/small-production wooden skiff, not a widely mass-produced model.
