Yeah looks good.
Just not sure if it's got a wooden hull.
Suppose it could be lined.

That's a very quick and well known skiff. I'm surprised it's survived the years. I saw it racing some years ago and was surprised just how quick it was.

You're correct Darren. Glass hull and wooden deck, this one.

Here’s a page from the 2006 – 2007 APBA Licence Book, showing Scimitar as the West Australian record holder for 1250 cc displacement boats at 76.27 kph. Don’t know if it still holds that record, but there aren’t many small capacity boats around nowadays, so it probably still stands.
Note also the references to the amazing Jet and Naiad, a little Cortina powered skiff that Dave has in his collection.
