An Ella skiff is started in Norfolk
The cut out components of Norman’s skiff wait to be taped and stitched together; the model on his desk proved the principle
Norman Fuller has started work on the rowing version of the Ella skiff, a simple 12ft stitch and glue flattie skiff named after my daughter. He lives in Norwich, close to the Norfolk Broads, and I gather intends to take it to the Barton Broad UK Home Built Boat Rally event in May – so let’s all wish him luck with his project. It’s looking good so far, and I’m pleased to see he built a model first.
Making a model is always a good first step, not least because it boosts the builder’s confidence in the design and the process.
