Two-Sail Crabbing Bateau by Simmons 1910 - Three Plan Tracings

2025-01-10

In 1942, Howard Chapelle took lines off a two-sail crabbing skiff which was built by Simmons in 1910.   His plan appears as Figure 4 in Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiffs.  

Josef Liener created another set of plans for this boat in 1979.  His plan can be found here.

Edward R. Thieler drew another set of plans  for his 1:12 model of the Simmons 1910 skiff.

Ed traced all three plans and sent them to me.   They're presented here for you to compare and consider.
