An exceptionally fine example of a classic design by Iain Oughtred, finished to a very high standard.
The Acorn is a beautiful boat to row, well balanced with stunning lines. Epoxy plywood construction means she is lightweight and stiff, will require minimum maintenance in the years to come. Built in Cornwall 2024, purchased in 2025 by present owner, the skiff has never been afloat or used, remains in perfect condition, as new.
