The Devon Yawl is a 16-foot open daysailer that represents a successful transition from traditional timber craftsmanship to modern GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) construction. Originally designed by Michael Salter in 1968, the hull is a direct descendant of the Salcombe Yawl, a historic West Country working boat known for its ability to handle the choppy Atlantic swells of the English Channel. Unlike its wooden ancestors, which were often bespoke and high-maintenance, the Devon Yawl was engineered for durability and ease of use, making it a staple of coastal day-sailing and club racing. The boat’s pedigree is rooted in the "working boat" aesthetic, featuring a sturdy clinker-effect hull and a versatile yawl rig that provides an exceptional degree of control in varying wind conditions.
