For the diy-er yves-marie has assembled a collection of boat plans designed for the home boat builder for those that prefer their own craftsmanship. easy to follow plans, all of the information you'll need, and well thought out designs. 19'6" mouse cat yawl - wood. 200.00. design #253. mouse cat yawl. principal characteristics.. A yawl is a two-masted sailing craft whose mainmast is taller than the mizzen mast (or aft-mast). compared to a similar sized ketch, a yawl's mizzen mast is set further aft and its mizzen sail is smaller.. historically, the yawl was a commercial working vessel, but today, the yawl is a fore-and-aft rigged pleasure yacht. in europe yawls are much less common than the more popular ketch.. 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..
Boats like the chester yawl were used as working craft in 19th-century. efficiency was critical in these human powered craft, so they evolved easily driven hull shapes. working watermen weren't immune to good looks, either, so these ‘livery boats’ were often beautiful.. 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.. That a boat's cabin is comfortable requires numerous reminders of where we are. if a yacht's cabin feels like it’s been uprooted from the nearest condo block, it will cease to be comfortable with inundations of water, the boat heeling under sail, or simple jostling in a passing wake..
