Raced with three or four people, the E Scow has a hull shape nearly identical to the larger A Scow. Like other scows, the boat is raced primarily on lakes in the upper midwest U.S., but there are E Scow fleets as far away as Colorado, South Carolina, and the Northeast, and the boat has begun to appear in Europe. The E Scow was originally rigged with a symmetric spinnaker and non-overlapping jib, but the class voted to accept asymmetric spinnakers for 2008 in fleets side by side with traditionally-rigged boats. At 28 feet (8.5m) in length overall, the E Scow is one of the largest centerboard boats being raced in North America. For more information, read the E Scow Wikipedia article.
