Wooden Ships Comments
The Caledonia Yawl was designed by Ian Oughtred, a prolific designer of small open boats, and has been one of his most popular designs. This example was built to the highest standards by professional shipwright Johnny Burke in Scotland in 2013 and has been used on only 6 occasions around the Clyde and in Norfolk.
The Caledonia yawl has gained a reputation as a very capable and seaworthy boat suitable for coastal sailing in favourable weather. The design was altered slightly on this boat with the addition of another laminated frame in way of the chain plates to increase the strength on the hull.
She has built in buoyancy tanks as well as air bags for safety, and comes as a complete package on a virtually new SBS galvanised road trailer so is ready to tow away.
