DECKED BUILDER ANDROID CRACK

Wherever you look the quality of Jonny's workmanship is breathtaking whether it's the leatherwork on the oars, the sprit or the gaff throat fitting, or the joinerywork on the coamings or the way the cockpit floors fit round the centreboard case, the sapele rudder stock and the lifting rudder blade or the beautifully laminated tiller, it would be hard to imagine any builder creating a more beautifully put together boat. The boat's been built to be pressed hard in open water and Jonny and I would be surprised if there's a more strongly built Caledonia Yawl. With Rascal, Jonny set himself the highest standard. With its red sails, varnished hollow spars, grey hull, ivory decks and interior and the most beautifully varnished cockpit coaming and brightwork, Rascal looked stunning - everyone loves this boat! On the final approach to Tarbert the wind picked up and, with it being right on the nose, we short-tacked briskly through the harbour's narrow entrance and sailed up to the dock. With light headwinds it took us the best part of twelve hours to get to Tarbert and we had to get the oars out on more than one occasion (no hole in the hull for an outboard motor on this boat!). The wind had eased overnight so we shook out the reef and on a beautiful broad reach the boat skittered across to Bute and down the East Kyle - fantastic, fast sailing. We took the last of the ebb to Greenock, slept for a few hours then took the first of the ebb to Toward Point early the next morning.

We reefed as it was blowing much harder than we would have liked for a first sail - it was the sort of fresh breeze where, in a brand new boat, you might expect something to crack or fail, but we needn't have worried we pressed the boat hard but she felt solid took everything in her stride.

Jonny, Ben, Ed (my son) and I spent a few minutes sailing in the upper reaches of the Clyde before Ed and I took over the boat and headed for Tarbert. 'It was a big day when Jonny handed over 'Rascal' the Caledonia Yawl that he'd spent most of the previous nine months building. Rascals new owner took her straight out and up the coast for 12 hours.

She has also had a number of re-enforcement’s made in key places to help her deal with the rougher conditions she is likely to encounter. She will carry the 3-sail Gunter Yawl rig, giving an easier rig to handle if sailing single handed. The side benches have been replaced with boxed in tanks to provide yet more storage/ and reserve buoyancy. She is going to be used for some long distance cruising, and so with that in mind we decided to build a deck at gunnel-level with a spacious, but dry cockpit in the middle. Johnny describes her thus 'S he is modified from the plans slightly as her owner has some specific plans for her. This one has side tanks and the stayed gunter yawl rig for voyaging. These pictures should prove good inspiration for someone seeking this path. Johnny Burke has done a very nice job adding decks to a Caledonia Yawl, a justifiably popular boat.
