Designed by the men
whose lives depend on them, the Monhegan skiff is both functional and
aesthetic. In a rough sea, the distance from Fish Beach to your lobster
boat can seem a lot further than it looks. This skiff has proven itself
over the many years it has been in service and is legendary among seamen
everywhere.
I was along the shore
of Lake Ontario a few summers ago and was surprised to see a genuine,
certified Monhegan skiff sitting in someone's yard.
Since there is no
summer lobster season around Monhegan Island, the skiffs get a much
deserved sabbatical; I found this one in July on Fish Beach sunning
itself.
