About the CUB SCOW
Based on the John Barnett designed Butterfly to race with other 12 foot scow classes. Later built by Hydrostream Boats, who produced it under the model name FOX.
The Cub Scow is a micro-cruiser designed by Robert F. Holmgren and built by Seago Corp. (USA) in 1967. With a build count of ? hulls, this 12.25 ft LOA vessel represents a niche entry in the small boat market.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for single-handers or couples seeking a lightweight, trailerable day-sailer for protected coastal waters. Its 150.0 lb displacement and 3.13 comfort ratio indicate it is designed for calm conditions rather than heavy weather.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 150.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.39, the Cub Scow is not suitable for bluewater cruising and is strictly limited to protected coastal or inland waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 12-foot micro-cruisers and daysailers from the late 1960s, such as the Microcruiser or similar trailerable designs. These vessels share the Cub Scow's emphasis on portability and simplicity over offshore capability.
