slight aside- The Maryland Maritime museum ( In St. Michaels, MD) has several skipjacks, and a few years ago was rebuilding the "Lady Katie". They had a apprentice program, with older experienced workers teaching the students about repair and construction of ( relatively small) boats.

"Lady Katie" is a typical skipjack, single masted, flat bottomed, with no engine permitted by law.
