The term may actually be ambiguous i.e. it may be making reference talking to the rig, the hull or a combination of both. The term 'Yawl' is somewhat the same. There is a Yawl rig (Two masts, forward mast the tallest, with the mizzen mast at the stern being placed behind the rudder post); a Yawl boat (A large rowing boat used as a tender to a large vessel), and a Canoe Yawl as per those developed by the Humber Yawl Club, where technically many of the canoes were Ketches having the mizzen mast in front of the rudder stock.Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209493946963010404.post-7773890980087517492016-06-10T02:18:25.561+12:002016-06-10T02:18:25.561+12:00This is the second vessel I've come across tha...This is the second vessel I've come across that's described as a Winkle Brig. Does that mean it's a type? The other one was a 16' lifting keel cabin boat, gaff rig, GRP, built by the former owner of the Ferry Boat Yard on the Mersey. Several dozen were built in the 90s and inspired a fairly enthusiastic following.

I imagine there is a story behind that fact.<br /><br />Fabian Bush the builder of this yacht is a consummate boat builder in the traditional style (Google 'Fabian Bush' for more information).<br /><br />I have featured another build by Fabian Bush on this blog (March 26th 2015) i.e the beautiful Albert Strange designed canoe yawl 'Wenda' - You can Google her here:<br /><br />yachtee.blogspot.com/2015/03/thing-of-beauty-is-joy-forever.html<br /><br />Or just type 'Wenda' in the search box on my blog.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209493946963010404.post-49192819460631527212016-05-26T08:03:48.572+12:002016-05-26T08:03:48.572+12:00Lovely video!

It was nice to see the skipper putting what I am assuming was his grandchildren aboard for the boats first sail.<br /><br />Also the simplicity and honesty of the design and the sensible nod to modernity in terms of synthetics for running rigging and sails.Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209493946963010404.post-69944207848500472252016-05-24T04:03:47.150+12:002016-05-24T04:03:47.150+12:00Thanks for sharing this video.

Except for the digital cameras and modern cars, this launching might have happened 50 or more years ago. I love the faithfulness to yesteryear. I suppose the sails and lines are of synthetics, but otherwise that yacht could have sailed in much the same form 100 years ago.<br />Dan Gurneyhttp://www.estuarian.orgnoreply@blogger.com
