==History==
The origin of the Skiff is dubious, but it is thought to have roots in the smaller skiffs sailed on Sydney Harbour in the late 1800s. The Skiff became a class in its own right in 1924, when it was raced in several clubs around Australia, at this time the skiff was manned by a crew of 5, but around about the 1940s it changed to a three man boat, and then became the 2 man boat that is used today. After the 1940s the skiff went international.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Twelve Foot Skiff Association: History )〕
Nowadays the Skiff is mainly sailed in Australia and New Zealand, although it is growing in popularity in Great Britain.
