This elegant Ladies Skiff was built in Clayton by L.E. Fry. It has white cedar planking, red cedar sheer strake, white oak ribs, and is all copper clench nailed. The seats are Spanish cedar edged with butternut and mahogany. This small lightweight skiff was wonderfully suited for leisurely rowing by women or children, without the help of a guide.Collection
