Salcombe Yawl

The modern Salcombe Yawl, built for racing and based entirely on the Salcombe Estuary in South Devon, has a history which goes back at least 200 years to straight stemmed, transom sterned, local fishing vessels. Certainly an 1806 drawing of a scene off Easton, on the Salcombe Estuary, shows a small yawl rigged vessel of exactly such a type. Learn More

History of the Yawl

A very small number of boat-builders have been involved in creating them and among them, the name of Jim Stone must stand supreme. By far the most prolific builder, he was also probably indirectly responsible for the concept of the boat when he built Blackbird a 14ft (4.301) three-quarter decked yawl just after the First World War.
