Caledonia Yawl II
Description
The Caledonia Yawl 7 Strake Version, also known as the Caledonia Yawl II, is an enhanced iteration of Iain Oughtred's original Caledonia Yawl design, introduced in 1999. This version features a refined hull with seven planks per side (compared to the original's four), offering improved stability, increased displacement, and a slightly different aesthetic while retaining the boat's renowned seaworthiness, versatility, and traditional double-ended charm. Like its predecessor, it is primarily built by amateur constructors using glued-lapstrake plywood and is popular for coastal cruising, rowing, and multi-day "raid" events.
