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. JAXAshby wrote: 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. That's *certainly* true... many's the time I have sailed large sloops with tillers, wishing I had a way to set more sail area aft so that the boat would have *more* weather helm... DSK |
