Abstract:
Deadrise skiffs are a local, vernacular craft made specifically in the area of Core and Bogue Sounds. The shallow centerboard vessels are still built in the same way, using the same materials because the design is so well-suited for the environment. Initially used as work boats and for fishing, modern watermen typically use the boats for recreational purposes.
