Best cruiser... ketches
the yawl enjoyed a breif resurgence as designers stuck a handy mizzen on
the back of a sloop and got a rating gift. I think this is where most of
todays' sailors got their experience with yawls.
the mizzen sail on a yawl is an easy, effective way to balance a boat's sails.
This can be more important on a larger boat with a tiller for steering.
