| A yawl is a two-masted fore-and-aft rigged vessel with the first mast taller than the aft mast, and the steering position ahead of the aft mast (the mizzen mast). If the steering position is behind the mizzen mast, the vessel is a ketch. Typically, the mizzen mast of a yawl is very short. | Vessel database Alphabetic listing Chronological listing Articles and nautical terms Search the site (with Google): Support the site: |
