About the Vessel
The Saint Lawrence Skiff is native to the Thousand Island region, where it served both recreational and commercial purposes. The skiff is one of the few boat types that have been sailed without a rudder. It is controlled by the trim of the sail and by shifting the boatman’s weight.
