Originally conceived as a GRP version of the Salcombe Yawl – one of the UK's earliest classes – the Devon Yawl's ancestry can ultimately be traced back to the small inshore fishing vessels of the Salcombe estuary and South Devon. Inheriting the speed, good windward performance and easy-handling of its working-boat forebears, the Devon Yawl fuses these qualities with resilience, ease of maintenance, and durability. A boat equally at home in heavy weather or light winds, the Devon Yawl is exciting for seasoned sailors and yet forgiving enough for beginners and families. www.devonyawl.co.uk |  |
