Thanks, to both who replied. Your answers are a great help. Pocketship will most likely be my next build, but who knows when I'll get started.
As to rowing the Skerry, I found it to be fine if someone is sitting in the stern, but when I try to row by myself in the middle seat, the weathercocking is terrible. I think it's just a little light and sits too high for winds above 10 mph. Maybe I should put a sandbag or two in the stern seat. I know this is not a Skerry forum, but if you have any thoughts I'd love to hear them--perhaps better by email,
[email protected], so don't take up forum space.
