I was trying to envisage the prospect of quantities of people carrying skiffs, boats and other manually propelled objects across the countryside.
Consideration should be given to the small manually-propelled boats, skiffs, and so on.
At that time there were events for canoeing, dongola racing, tug-of-war in punts and swimming as well as the skiff racing.
Although general usage has declined, skiffs are still used for leisure and racing.
The dory skiff is another variation of the dory type.
Racing skiffs are specially built for skiffing in competitions at regattas and long distance events and also for recreational purposes.
The 2007 event featured boattail speedsters and skiff style automobiles.
Life membership subscriptions paid by some of the foundation directors were used to fund a few further skiff purchases.
