Midwest Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff

Midwest Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff

The "Crabbing Skiff" is a model of the workboat popular along the East Coast from Cape Cod to Maryland during the 1880s to the early 1900s. These sailing workboats were referred to as flat bottom boats, or "Flat Irons", due to the characteristic shape of the hull. Crabbing Skiffs were 15 to 20 feet in length and were of open hull construction, with one or more half-decks used to stiffen the structure and provide stowage at the bow or stern. The flat bottom hull, with its retractable centerboard and shallow draft, was ideal for shallow coastal waters where the Crabbing Skiff sailed. While these skiffs came in a variety of rigs, the small, leg-of-mutton rig was the most popular, since it could be operated by one person.
The model, like its full-size counterpart, is of basic design and simple to build.
