Hull Form

The Willet was developed through several years of on-the-water testing in our quest for the perfect minimalist skiff.
• Convex sections forward provide effortless poling, low resistance, zero hull noise, extremely smooth ride, range and versatility while providing third person carrying capability.
• Stability is enhanced by waterline length, low deadrise angles and a close relationship between chine beam and overall beam.
• Lower freeboard not only keeps sail area down and minimizes weight, along with a slightly cambered running surface, it guarantees maneuverability and tracking on the push pole second to none - even when it is howling.
• An oversized spray knocker and horizontal surface at the sheer provide extreme “overhang” in the forward sections, keeping the ride very dry - even in a beam sea the four strakes below the waterline turn the spray down and aft.
• Extreme ultra shallow draft performance with the propeller above the hull bottom are guaranteed with NewWater’s exclusive Lamiflow^TM tunnel desig.n
• The low resistance and light weight provide speeds of 25 mph with a 25hp outboard.
• Careful weight studies were conducted throughout the development to assure ultra shallow poling with even keel performance.
