...you can read (mostly) the text from the MAIB article.

I think this skiff might be just a bit easier to climb in and out,
while boarding boats at ancorage, which was its intended use.

This skiff is from three sheets of 1/4" plywood. I imagine piling a
stack of them on a trailer for a family sized messabout [scout troup,
etc.] at the lake.

How long is it? Is it in one of the books or a MAIB?

The Light Dory nests pretty well, you have to put a couple of pads to
keep from damaging seats.

So many of the Bolger small boats popularized by Dynamite Payson
feature predominately in our thoughts, so it is easy to forget that
Phil Bolger has many other very interesting rowboats, etc..

The Utility Nesting Skiff is real neat, capacity for four people,
compact shape and simple construction make it very appealing.
