The 38 foot (11.58 meter) Class A Scow is the largest, fastest, and most powerful inland scow sailboat. Originally designed in the late 1800’s by John O. Johnson of Johnson Boat Works (White Bear Lake, MN) the boat retains the same shape and size as the original boats.

The Class A Scow is the largest of the Inland Scows at 38 feet in length and 8 feet abeam. This ultra-high-performance racer is designed for a crew of 6 people or more if needed. The National Class A Scow Association (NCASA), governs its scantlings and other rules.
