scow?
How would the sailing canoes down by St. Mikes compare?
Scotty "DSK" wrote in message ... "The Carrolls" wrote: We were having a discussion at work as tho the fastest monohull. I recall a I think "K" scow but am not sure of the designation, any how it seems to me it was a twin keeler, 38 foot long dinghy for all intents. any one here have any experience with them? As others have said, it's most likely you mean an 'A' scow. I haven't sailed one but have seen them sailing a few times. They are awesome.

But the A-scow or even her smaller sister the E-scow is not to be taken lightly. In some conditions I bet they could give a skiff a run for the money. The A-scow does not have a handicap rating that I'm aware of but the E-scow is rated as a lot faster than a 505, slightly slower than a Tornado cat. Now, how would an A-scow and a 18-footer do against Mari-Cha 4? I suspect that she is the crowned & reigning Fastest Monohull On Earth (outside of the windsurfer speed trenches, that is).

Recently in a distance race on San Francisco Bay, a custom windsurfer finished about 20 seconds ahead of an 18' skiff. But this once, you're right. Enjoy. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
