The regatta combines serious and light-hearted racing in canoes, dinghies, dongolas and skiffs. Most boating activity is limited to small powered fishing skiffs, canoes and kayaks. Clubs also encourage youngsters to take part in skiffs and rowing dinghies. A 150 foot veranda hosted lockers, rowboats, skiffs, and sailboats for rental. The races are traditionally competed by Gravesend skiffs, oaken round-bottomed, clinker-built boats. Local transportation is primarily by fishing boats or skiffs since there are no roads. Crews then rowed into the recovery area and manually recovered the bodies into the skiffs. Sailing skiffs have developed into high performance competitive classes. Two skiffs approached the tanker and boarded the vessel off the northern coast of Somalia. At night, Arkali Khan sent a raiding party to Chajju's camp on rafts and skiffs. Railbird skiffs and garvey-like sneakboxes are other American hunting-boat types. There are skiffs with three or four rowing positions. A pair of skiffs travel with Jabba's sail barge in "Return of the Jedi". Many former British rowing team members continue to compete and exercise in skiffs. Two of the papyriform skiffs have a trawling net slung between them.
