Acorn 15

One of the nicest rowing boats ever. It’s often been said that kids don’t row anymore, finding many modern boats unexciting to row. Put any kid near an Acorn 15 and they will be rowing with joy in an hour. With it’s long fine lines and crisp wineglass transom, the Acorn 15 is rowing heaven. Whether fixed or sliding seat it rows beautifully and is now available in a 17ft version.

If you are feeling a bit lazy, you can add a small sprit rig to take you places with gentle airs, but this is a boat design for rowing and under sail she is tender.
