History
The Devon Yawl class of sailing dinghy was created partly in reaction to the escalating costs of the traditional Salcombe yawl. Its mould was taken from the Salcombe yawl no 45 -see article in Classic Boat 2007 November page 91 -contact www.devonyawl.com January 2011 (Picture courtesy of Classic Boat)
