Danh từ
Số nhiều: skiffs

This term describes a specific class of small, lightweight vessels designed for agility and shallow-water navigation. It carries a connotation of simplicity and utility, often evoking images of solitary fishing or coastal exploration. In a sporting context, it refers to high-performance sailing boats that prioritize speed and a shallow draft over stability.

Because the word is used for both rowing and sailing vessels, the specific type is usually clarified by the accompanying verb or context, such as "paddling a skiff" versus "sailing a skiff." It is distinct from a "dinghy," which is generally smaller and often serves as a tender for a larger ship.
