The First Caledonia Yawl
The prototype of Iain Oughtred’s classic double-ender
Two traditional sail-and-oar skiffs updated for modern construction—Iain Oughtred’s lapstrake Acorn 17 and the strip-built Wherry from Newfound Woodworks—are this month’s Boat Profiles. An ergonomic foam hand-sanding block from 3M and two car-door steps for roof-rack access are reviewed in our product pages while a simple method to bring a traditional appearance to modern cordage is the subject of our Technique feature. A man with a dream to sail across the Atlantic designs and builds a sailboat that will take him to sea—posthumously. A Wisconsin father designs and builds a simple sailing dinghy for his two young children. And our editor revisits the very first boat built to Iain Oughtred’s popular Caledonia Yawl design.
