A 16 ft Skiff is a class of three-person sailing dinghy with twin trapezes and a large asymmetrical spinnaker.
The class has the largest fleet of high performance skiffs on the east coast of Australia.
Due to the nature of only allowing two trapezes, the age of the sailors can vary between 15 and 60 years old, making it a versatile class of boat.
[1] The hull, spars and foils are all constructed out of a carbon composite reinforced polymer.
Manufacturers of these hulls are generally local boat builders, however are now being sourced overseas.
