Talk:Jolly Boat (Laurent Giles)

Yawl versus ketch
The Yawl article tells of an older sense in which a yawl has a small mizzen set back to allow rowing, and a main about as big as a sloop would have. Well it seems to me a Jolly Boat's main is quite small. Here are some pictures to be found on the web: The picture in this advert shows  the mizzen is about in line with the foremeos part of the rudder, making it debatable. See also pictures here and scanned brochure. AJS Marine called it a yawl: were they using the older sense? Billlion 08:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Looking for article
Many years ago I had a Jolly boat and I thought in the file that came with it was an article from Practical Boat Owner (or possible an other magazine) about the boat. I can't find an index to the magazine to track down the reference.Billlion (talk) 22:21, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
