With a shroudless rotating mast, Tempo sails without fear into unknown shallow waters. Aside from dragging the keel through the sand, which is normal for us, and a couple of jibes it was uneventful.
I give up...on learning anything about this boat. I guess this couple are barrowing someones boat. But three vidoes and we never get to know anything about the boat...Oh well...
Sorry Karl, 18-foot Modified Sharpie Skiff, Hooper Island, Chesapeake Bay, 1906. "The type represents the highest stage of evolution of the sharpie into the deadrise skiff. The model is moderate, neither a burdensome workboat nor a flat out racer." - Reuel B. Parker's "The Sharpie Book" Mr. Parker's book contains probably all you need to know about Sharpies.
