The
Caledonia Yawl Crazybird
|
Crazybird, a Caledonia Yawl, is an open wooden sailing boat just under
20ft long with two masts,three sails and no engine.
She looks like an old style fishing boat with her gaff rig, tan sails
and traditional lines.
Actually she was built in 1993 in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia by
Richard Munt, Neville Roberts and Wei Ming Wu (the original Crazybird).
The Caledonia Yawl design is by Iain Oughtred, a popular designer
of small wooden sailing craft.
Oughtred's designs are based on traditional lines but recreated in
modern materials.
This site contains lots of information about building and sailing
Caledonia Yawls, and Crazybird in particular.
