Rough-Water Hull
Proven Design
Every Winnipeg Yawl is built on a venerable, tried-and-true hull design that commercial fishermen have relied on in unforgiving waters. Its unique characteristics provide versatility, safety, and a smooth ride in rough water.
The Proven Winnipeg Yawl Design
The Winnipeg Yawl semi-displacement hull is a versatile, ageless, and proven design. Similar hulls have been used around the world for centuries. Scandinavian in origin, the design came to the Lake Winnipeg area of Manitoba with Icelandic settlers in the late 1800s and remains in use today. It combines the speed of a planing hull with the efficiency of a displacement hull. The result is comfortable rough-water cruising and efficient fuel use under heavy loads and at a variety of speeds.
Characteristics of the Winnipeg Yawl Rough-Water Hull:
- Fiberglass Construction
- Narrow Beam: The narrow beam enables the boat to “slice” through waves rather than “slap” against them.
- Bow Flare: The significant bow flare helps to “push” rough water aside.
- Low Center of Gravity: The deck sits close to the outer hull, keeping the center of gravity close to the water.
- Stable: The low center of gravity keeps the boat stable despite a narrow beam.
- Bow Rise: The significant bow rise prevents large waves from submerging the bow.
- The aft portion of the hull is flat with a rounded chine to produce ample lift and maintain stability.
Small Size. Big Capability.
