Remarks:
The Scow remains a very popular and successful sailing dinghy with active classes up and down the UK, including West Wight, Bembridge, Lymington and Burnham-on-Crouch. It’s not known exactly which class/fleet this pretty Scow dinghy belongs to, although it’s thought that she may originate from Scotland. Understood to be in good structural condition throughout, she has been painstakingly stripped back to bare wood by the vendor ready for re-varnishing and is now offered for sale due to lack of time and other projects. A traditional British Seagull outboard motor is also available by negotiation.
