Brian1947 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They look like Thames rowing Skiffs. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 In Holland we call this a wherry, but on Alamy most wherries are Norfolk Wherries, which is a gaff rigged sailing boat. Both are wide clinker-built hulls. I would research skiff, maybe Thames skiff, and wherry to be sure what clients use when they are looking for a rowing boat. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Agree - you will probably have to call them several names. Would have been easier if they were more recent rowing club boats. - and describe - or rather keyword - perhaps also: a double 2x coxed inrigger - a single gig scull or boat - perhaps even gig-rigged boat - (the swivel / swivellocks / oar locks are half way out compared to the outrigger and not on the gunwale as on the inrigger. Clinker-built. The terms are sometimes spelled with a hyphen, sometimes not. Except for clinker-built it may be more correct without - and there may even be local terms for these types.

John Allison J Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Ideas about these two is appreciated. Many thanks, Richard. I would describe the first as a skif and the seond as a scull. I cannot see in these smallish imaages but they are likely to be clinker built Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
