Tirrik

The Tirrik is a versatile Iain Oughtred design that sits below the Caledonia Yawl in size while still providing an excellent daysailer for a couple or a single-handed sailor.

Sailing and layout

The standard balanced lug rig is simple to use and works well across a wide range of conditions. A gunter sloop is another option, and we have also built Tirrik as a gunter-rigged yawl.

There are several interior arrangements available. These range from a completely open boat to layouts with side bench seating and fore and aft decks. Watertight side bench lockers can also provide useful storage and additional buoyancy.
