The 18ft skiff is a high-performance sailing dinghy known for its speed, agility, and challenging handling characteristics, they are an iconic class in the world of sailing.
Modern 18ft skiff’s have a flat, wide hull that promotes planing, allowing the boat to skim across the water at high speeds. They are typically sailed by a crew of three and each member has a specific role: helming, trimming the sails, and managing the spinnaker.
In the past, the class has been known for its innovations not seen before on dingies. Designers and sailors constantly push the boundaries of what’s possible, experimenting with new materials and designs to gain a competitive edge and more speed.
The 18ft skiff continues to be a leading class in the world of sailing, representing a blend of tradition and cutting-edge technology. Its history is a testament to the spirit of innovation and competition that drives the sport.
We are thrilled to share the highlights of our recent corporate day, “Allen Factory to Flotilla Fiesta,” held on the 26th of June. This event was designed to give our valued customers an inside look at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Essex, UK, and provide a memorable sailing experience on the River Crouch.
Our day began with an exclusive tour of our warehouse and factory units. Our guests were able to see firsthand the intricate processes involved in producing our top-of-the-line sailing hardware. The tour included a visit to our designers’ resources, where all Allen products are conceived and developed. We showcased our advanced product load testing equipment and offered detailed explanations of how each piece of hardware is meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards.
