A Scow
The A Scow traces its origins back to a Johnson-designed prototype in 1896. Over time the class has changed and evolved into essentially a one design class today. At 38.00 ft (11.58 m) length overall, the design is the largest scow raced today and is one of the largest dinghies produced. [1]The A Scow is a racing sailboat, with the early versions built from wood and the more recent ones built ...

Melges A Scow
THE MELGES A SCOW. With six to seven crew, the A Scow is the fastest and largest of the Melges Scow family. Nothing compares to its century of heritage, delivering a combination of raw power, speed and performance unmatched in one-design sailing. A true classic, the A Scow is monumental to watch, not to mention powerful to race.
SCOW HULLS
The faster the boat goes, the more reserve lift forward. As lift via hull volume is less required (only for slow speeds), the freeboard can be diminished drastically: anypart of the hull not required for reserve buoyancy can simply be chopped away. This is the background to the scow's classical reverse sheerline.

The 19 Types Of Flat Bottom Boat & How They Are Used
Scow. What is a scow boat? A scow is a flat-bottomed sailing boat designed to be capable of sailing in shallow bays and rivers. Traditional sailing boats are fitted with keels and v-hulls which makes them much more stable in open water and choppy conditions, but this makes them unable to navigate shallow waterways.
Barges and Scows
Historically, the words barge and scow have applied to everything from the flat bottomed sailing barges of the Thames, floating pleasure palaces and funerary boats to the garbage boats of the first half of the twentieth century. Today, these terms generally bring to mind simple floating boxes that carry cargo and are pushed or towed by tugboats.
Melges MC Scow
The scow design maximizes speed yet provides unmatched stability. There are more than 100 active fleets nationwide. An original design by the Melges family in 1956, it is unique in the fact that you can sail single-handed or double-handed. Sailing solo is easy, taking a crew is fun! Melges has produced a brand new style Melges MC: an open ...
Scow stability explained
This has to be one of the best descriptions of the dynamics at play in scow sailing and why many people find the boat to behave so, well, kindly at high speeds and fresh winds. The Melges 17 scow referenced here has many of the high tech innovations found in modern skiffs, but all scows enjoy the hull characteristics.
