Canoe yawls are a type that stimulates that creative urge in an owner. and the earliest canoe yawls were, i believe, much more like your 18 footer than the later, heavier, full keel versions that albert strange developed and of which herreshoff’s “rozinante” is a most romantic evocation.. The inspiration for her design has its genesis in that long tradition of wonderful canoe yawls from the humber yawl club in the uk where such creative spirits of small boat design and voyaging as albert strange and george holmes et al sailed, designed and had their being.. Two pictures of my little egret design, which would make an excellent "warm and shallow water" canoe yawl. remember, canoe yawls are not necessarily canoes, and aren't always rigged as yawls. the name relates to boats which evolved from canoes, some of which resembled ship's yawl boats..
Selway-fisher canoe yawls selway-fisher has two ‘canoe yawl’designs. the first is the 15’ (4.6m) lillie the second is an 18’4” (5.6m) version of lillie called jim canoe yawl. description of lillie from selway-fisher. The humber yawl club was created in 1883 by canoe enthusiasts who wanted to cruise the rugged estuaries of britain's east coast. the club oversaw the evolution of a uniquely elegant and capable class of pocket-cruising sailboats, led by legendary designers and club members such as george holmes and albert strange.. A few pictures of the "sally" a circa 1890's albert strange canoe yawl design built a few years ago! see construction pictures on the "building sally" page!(click on any picture to see a larger version!).
