This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2016-06-06
Yawl v1.0 (TL6) Copyright 2016 by Onno Meyer This yacht comes from an era when wooden boats could still enter ocean races and win. Some years later she was fitted with a diesel engine, but the elegant appearance was preserved. She has a 40' main mast and a 20' mizzen aft of the rudder post, a nod to arcane racing regulations. Most of the rig can be controlled from the cockpit. A hatch leads down to the saloon, galley, and pantry. At night the table is folded away and the benches become two bunks. Two more can sleep in the forward cabin. The engine burns 0.4 gallons per hour at routine speed. A full load of diesel and provisions is $304.8. Subassemblies: Body +5, Mast #1 +0, Mast #2 -2.
