Yesterday I featured Douglas Jones’s John Welsford Houdini; today I’m displaying photos of his Ness Yawl.

Which of these boats came first I do not know, but he made a really good job of building both of them. Douglas named his Ness Yawl ‘Sheer Delight’, which makes perfect sense, because I cannot but admire her beautiful sheer. She was designed by Iain Oughtred, who is noted for designing pleasing looking craft which also function well.
