Gartside yawl well underway

The year has started briskly with another new build on the stocks. This lovely 17' yawl is from the pen of Paul Gartside and features in the latest edition of Watercraft magazine http://watercraft-magazine.com/wc_one.html Paul has written an evocative essay on the thinking behind the design, following a subtle, but comprehensive brief from her owner.

The light clinker planking has been tricky to say the least, but what a shape! This looks like being a very slippery boat. Dan Johnson has made a beautiful job of the spars, rudder and centreboard and so much more.

Next will follow the deck..
