Description:

The SKUA is the largest boat that can be sensibly demounted and towed behind a car.

With round bilge hulls, dagger-boards, kick-up semi-balanced rudders and a performance rig, Skua was designed for those who want a larger version of the micromultihulls like Strider. Basically still a 4 berth, the hulls are larger enough to have 'snug doubles' if required. With a greater loading capacity and off shore capability than a micro, Skua can also be considered the minimum size for the longer coastal races.

Note: A new version of Skua with increased freeboard/headroom and a longer cabin is available.
