Product Description

The SKUD 18 is a high performance lead-assisted skiff with a tube-launched, asymmetrical gennaker and a modern stayed rig. Active able-bodied and disabled sailors alike have enjoyed the two-person version since 2006. The exciting three-person development of the SKUD 18 is also now available.

The SKUD 18 platform can be sailed by two and three-person crews. In its open configuration, the crew are seated on the gunwale.? ?If one crew uses a centre-line seat then the other crew can use the trapeze. A wide range of additional equipment can also be added after control points to permit a sailor to compensate for any functional disability and enable the crew to maximise their collective potential.
