The baby of our pocket cruiser range, design 077 is a remarkably robust and sea-kindly small cruising sail boat. shown here with a gaff yawl rig, we have recently added plans for a gunter rig cutter (pdf drawing opens in a new window), which suits her very well.. she is very straightforward to build on five laminated ring frames and a laminated backbone.. One doesn't see many yawls this small—yet the yawl rig is both practical and fun to deal with. you can sail in strong winds without the main, under jib and "jigger" (i.e., the mizzen). you can control any tendency of the boat to dance around her mooring by hoisting the mizzen alone.. American plans to sail home-made caledonia yawl in conception bay an american man with deep roots in newfoundland is three years into a five-year project to make and sail a wooden boat on.
I first saw the plans of the canoe yawl 'ethel' in an article in the 'classic boat' magazine. a series on the construction of this 13'yawl by the falmouth wooden boat school was to run in the next few issues and follow the construction using stripped plank cedar.. Dipping / lugsail. dipping / lugsail. lateen. lateen. gaff rig. the modem dutch boeier (below) has changed little from the designs which could be seen in the netherlands in the 17th century.the gaff mainsail, from which the rig derives its name, is four-sided and set from a movable spar, or gaff, as it is known.. The detailed and accurate plans together with true step-by-step building instructions carry builders, professional and non-professional alike, through the building process simply and easily. and for larger boats particularly, they allow a managed build to be carried out very successfully..
