The E-Scow is the younger sister of the A-Scow. Its rigging is similar as well as its hull shape are almost identical. The boat is competitively sailed in the Minnesota and Wisconsin and recently in many more states around the country, including Michigan, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina and Colorado. Unlike the A-Scow, the E-Scow has a symmetrical spinnaker. The National Class E Scow Association (NCESA) tested an asymmetrical spinnaker option as a potential change to the design scantlings for two years. The asymmetrical spinnaker was voted down by the class in 2006, but it may be considered again in the future.
