The boat is, apart from a few inches overall pretty much exactly the same as the world famous triple Bermuda race winner Charlton Mitchells 'Finisterre'. I like these type of boats very much - heafty cruising boats with shoal draft - great!!<br /><br />It would be interesting to know whether 'Capreolus'is an exact copy of 'Finisterre' or whether she is the 'Development' model. Apparently the key to the success of this type of hull is fine waterlines, flat buttock lines, full quarters and very good stability.<br />Did I mention I really like this type of boat??<br /> Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029107535174533838.post-15789219572847012522017-07-26T09:05:50.872+01:002017-07-26T09:05:50.872+01:00Lorenzo - yes indeed she is a yawlLorenzo - yes indeed she is a yawlBursledon Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14020592383830135476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029107535174533838.post-12590155643128226712017-07-25T19:44:55.313+01:002017-07-25T19:44:55.313+01:00Given the masts size difference is say a yawl rath...Given the masts size difference is say a yawl rather than a ketch?
