Custom Classic Stow & Son Gaff Yawl

Described in the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club's 1947 Centenary Book as a "shoal draft cruiser with remarkable windward qualities", VOLUTA's sailing abilities and absolute charm, together with the standard of her original build by Stow & Son, have greatly contributed to her survival. It was her charm and plight that first attracted the present owner, and it is fair to say saviour, in 2004. Falling in love came during his first voyage with her, and for almost twenty years he has restored and refitted this Victorian gem and enjoyed her as the family cruiser-racer. VOLUTA’s shallow draft, generous cockpit and deck areas, and light and practical accommodation offer many very elegant possibilities.
