Jackrat
is a
Yachting World Dayboat: a
14-foot clinker-built dinghy.
The YW
Dayboat was designed in 1949 for the magazine Yachting World as a
family cruiser, being stable and good in rough weather.
Jackrat was
built
in 1959 from
quality mahogany but later had an epoxy coating to cure leaks.
It
suffered significant damage in its later life at Solva, Pembs. as
well as being involved in a rescue!
It’s recently been
restored to sailing condition.
