Anyone with a taste for sail boats loves a Yarmouth 23 Gaff Rigger. Everything about this boat is for the traditionalist. An article I read described it as a school boys dream boat and I can relate to that. At the boat show I bypassed all those gleaming brand name caravan boats or the towering gin palaces in search of the Yarmouth and the Cornish Shrimpers - real sea salts boat. It somewhat resembles a Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 hull design - but with a lot more wood, perhaps not as beamy. This amazing little pocket cruiser built by the Fisher company is rated B - Offshore, but has been sailed across the Atlantic. I also believe a couple trailered one down to the Med. If you are into small boat adventures it is well worth reading the entertaining Eileen of Avoca blog - I can relate to David's adventures in Brazil, I have also been Transatlantic once myself. Everything about this little boat shouts build quality, although I have to say all that teak looks rather high maintenance. The Yarmouth itself used to be built in the UK but construction is now in Sri Lanka. If you are interested it is well worth glancing at their website - there are photo streams of the boats construction.
