This website is all about skiffs. --- Just skiffs. --- No plastic, no fiberglass,
only simple plywood boats.
Chog and Mummichog skiffs are my interpretation of the "Westport Skiff". - These skiffs are
known for their subtle flair and the graceful sheer line. - All the boats on these pages were designed by Jerry Mathieu
and friends. - Building plans are available for all models. - - - The Mummichog 12 is an easy to build skiff-tender
that can be rowed or powered by a 5hp outboard. - The Chog 16 and the Chog 18 are flat bottom power skiffs. - The Mummichog
16V and the Mummichog 18V are the V bottom versions of the C16 & C18. --- Based in Westport, Massachusetts, a town with
a long history of boatbuilding. - The wooden power skiff and the people who built them were part of that history. ---
Now ; using plywood combined with epoxy, it's possible for you to build one of these fine skiffs. - The Chog
and Mummichog skiffs have half the weight of the original boats, combined with high strength, and lower maintenance. J.M.

Chog & Mummichog skiffs can be custom built to order
All boats are built from marine plywood and only marine ply should be used. - The use of
quality materials throughout is strongly reccommended. - All skiffs execpt the M12 use 3/8 - 9mm for the side thickness.
Bottoms are built up using two layers of plywood up to 1" ie 1/2" + 1/2" on flat bottom skiffs, and up to 3/4"
- 3/8" + 3/8", on V bottom boats. Transoms are doubled 3/4" for 11/2" as std. and optional 2" thick, made from doubled 1"
mar. plywood. -With a heavier bottom & transom a skiff will have a better feel underfoot . Jerry
