Build the Tango Skiff

The Tango Skiff was designed to be an easy to build, lightweight, low-power planing skiff.  Tango is built from marine plywood using the stitch and glue method.  Its unique transom design improves balance and weight distribution, and reduces the squatting common with small, outboard powered boats.
