SA is frequented by many true Skiffies and they are quick to jump on anybody that wants to use the term skiff as marketing BS.

Skiff is a class with its bloodlines tied back directly to the old traditional Waterman's boats of the 1800s and earlier. It is not about performance, even though they are at the pinical. It is about history.

If the skiff was not the pinical of monos, than new (not so)High Performance boats would be calling themself something else.

Imagine if in 50 years from now, every boat, any size and spec that adopted hydrofoils, started calling themself 'Moths'. Do you think the Moth class would be offended. Hell yes.

Anyway, this is not a thread for the 'What is a Skiff' debate, so we'll move on.
