A Scow

A Scow

The 38 foot Class A Scow is the largest, fastest, and most powerful inland scow sailboat. Originally designed in the late 1800s by John O. Johnson the boat retains the same shape and size as the original boats. With the move to fiberglass and carbon construction, the addition of a bow sprit and a massive asymmetrical spinnaker, combined with a carbon swept-spreader rig, the class is stronger than ever.
